Like many have said, nothing I'd want to memorialize on my skin, though I could see me doing something like Tobra wrote about. On the practical side, I'm black and often tats are just a murky mess; I've got family with lots of them and I'm damned if I know what most of them say. I really don't get the ones with kids names and birthdays, like they'd forget otherwise?

My family has long pushed for me to get an earring, but they thought I'd look cool with a jheri curl - if I didn't listen back in the 80s (praise be to Allah/Crom/Chthulu for no old pictures of me with a baggie on my head), why start now?
