You know those neon OPEN signs that exploded in popularity in the '90s? I always thought it would be funny to get one and rearrange the letters. But as an early riser I hardly ever turn on the neon signs I already have. So why not get a snarky tattoo instead?

The humble bread tag is so useful, especially when you can trade them for much-needed writing prompts from a friend who makes your zine possible by being part contributor, part muse. That's not really how it happened, but it's close. Thank you, Dawn. ❤️

On Wednesday my good friend and fellow water fitness instructor said we should get water fitness tattoos. I showed her that I already had mine and she could get matching second-row knuckle tattoos that read DUMB BELL if she wanted, but she's not planning to do her hands. She suggested our other mutual passion, pickles, and I agreed immediately. I already had an appointment with Aubrey Nations at Foundation Body Arts yesterday, and she drew this on for a perfect gap filler. Photo by Aubrey Nations.

Fresh out of the bandage, check out my awesome QR code tattoo that Gage Young did! I tapped him for it because I love the tiny pixel details on the mystery box gap filler he did a while back from his Super Mario flash.

I kept the caption space above the T-Rex by Thomas Graham empty for over 16 years but decided it was time to put it to better use. I know it'll stop working eventually, when that happens I can get the background blacked out for a night mode T-Rex, or just keep it because it looks cool.

I acknowledge that Illustra are not the good guys in Mannequin (1987) but I like their style. Fantastic tattoo as always by Catfish at Lion's Paw Tattoo in Everett, WA USA.
