Going to the building beside Champ Beverages is a tattoo parlour. Actually right beneath this sign is one for an ATM. They make it easy.

Mom is probably a safe bet to write on your arm.  The relationship status won’t change over time. Unlike Facebook where you simply “confirm” or “cancel” relationships, add or ignore friends- or even block people,  permanent ink requires a bit more thought and money.

Indeed there are artists whose work will take your breath away.  My guess is they don’t recommend names. Images can have reassigned meanings. Names are just that.

And when time passes and life changes, there are the practicalities of spending approximately eighty dollars for a name and then upwards of twelve hundred for its removal.

Personally, I would give a hug and then go to Europe with the twelve hundred, a nice dinner with wine for the eighty. But that’s just indelibly me.
