Image11: The Evolution of Tattoos
Back To: The Tyranny of Materiality
people
talk about my image
like i come in two
dimensions
like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind
like what i happen
to be wearing the day
that someone takes my picture
is my new statement for all womankind
i
wish they could see us now
in leather bras and rubber shorts
like some ridiculous team uniform
for some ridiculous new sport
quick someone call the girl police
and file a report

DiFranco: Little Plastic Castle
May 1991 . . . the tattoo is a small round moon with a cloud through the middle with a small star . . .
The next generation: A rainbow has been added . . . A Bridger Bash kegger . . . I seem to have all the essentials: a beer, tequila, water bottle and chips . . .
In its current form . . . it's now a small moon with a cloud through it with a rainbow and a hand [I didn't get the thumb in the photo!] . . . the hand has six fingers: I didn't notice until the next day . . . the artist was from North Carolina . . . I have no clue as to why six fingers . . .
Adding onto my whale tail kicking up out of the waves on my left shoulder . . . dolphins swimming across my back . . . The Am Jam Tattoo Expo . . . a wild time!
My Open Heart scar: pre-vine tattoo . . .
My Open Heart scar: with the vine tattoo and a small dragonfly . . . my nephew Connor is on my lap ...

Not shown: the spider dangling from a
cloud located toward my right breast!
