When people hear I play derby they assume I have tattoos. In fact my skatey ladies have even turned and asked me "where's yours?" The truth is I'd love to get one, I just have never been able to decide on something I think I'd like to wear on my person forever. I have a hard time keeping the same art on a wall for more than a year. Lot's of times I've wished aloud for some ink that would fade fast and completely. I'd have tons. I'd have my derby number tattooed on my arms in big bold Helvetica "OO" so that I'd never have to scrub the marker smears off again. I'd have some black star earrings put on my lobes and maybe some wings on my feet. I'd have stars up the backs of my legs and maybe some cat eye eyeliner put on, I'd have my babies names across my chest in their scribbly handwriting and maybe Opus the penguin from Bloom County on my butt. I also want one of the Sergio Aragones tiny-in-the-corner-cartoons that you find in the margins of MAD magazine hidden in my armpit.
