This afternoon I got a tattoo! On my right hip --



Which, close up, minus the crappy camera phone, is:



That's Latin for "knowledge is power." It's to celebrate my experience at college, because I loved it just that much.

The creepiest/ nerdiest part of the tattoo that it's in my favorite professor's handwriting. In her class she gave a lecture about a passage in Chaucer, right after President Bush's nomination, about how people use religion to hate, and it was so touching. It still gets me kinda choked up to think of it now, considering this was a white, middle-class, heterosexual woman speaking up for minorities. And it's the kind of thing that demonstrates what the tattoo means to me -- that when people are genuinely intelligent they use their knowledge to identify what is wrong with the world and what they believe should be better, and to be more open, and empathetic to others.

It didn't hurt too badly. This is going to sound fucking crazy but it was actually kind of relaxing. I talked to Sarah about this and she agrees, at least: the pain is not overwhelming, and is consistent, and puts you in this kind of meditative trance.

Anyway, I find the tattoo gorgeous, but I'm awfully biased. I realize most people don't like other people's tattoos -- such is the nature, I think! If they loved it as much as said person did, THEY'D have it tattooed on their body, too.

I'm kicking around the idea of getting a tattoo as well. (see a few posts ago in my SG journal.) I love yours.. I'd totally get a great quote or saying tattooed.. but i want it to be clever, and something I could live with on my body for the rest of my life... heh.

Congrats on the tattoo! It looks great as do you!

Hear anything back from SG?
