Girls with tattoos

I have become acquainted with a few women who have several tattoos. Not just the standard lower back, hip, or around the ankle variety. These women have taken the tattoo art to their legs, arms, chest. They are covered with large spans of ink. And I have found them to be cool, smart, funky and fun to talk to. They are inventive and think way outside the box.

My one little tattoo, a dare and and a drunken promise, is not the kind of person I am. I am a color within the lines, follow the rules, don't get into trouble girl.

But I like knowing women who don't follow the rules. While I am not that, I feel inspired by their courage and desire to redefine what it is to be a woman.
