Tattoos are for girls

I added a cool “random thumbnails” feature that posts thumbnails for random entries from the past over in the sidebar, and also used it on Price Of His Toys to make a random kit car photo gallery page. I had actually started writing this myself to brush up my PHP skills and then noticed someone had already made a nice robust one, and got lazy.

Anyway, when I was picking Nefarious up from school/camp today, some of her friends (two little girls) were sitting at a picnic table with a jug of juice the teacher just brought them. One of them stuck their finger in it and tasted it and I pointed at her and said,

Me: “Hey! I saw that!”
Girl: “Don’t tell.”
Me: “It’ll be our secret.”
Girl: “Yeah, a girl’s secret!”
Me: “Hey, I’m not a girl!”
Girl: “You look like a girl.”
Me: “Why do you think I look like a girl?”
Girl: “Because you have tattoos, and girls have tattoos.”

In her defense, her mother is in the sideshow.

Did some more fiddling on my Peter Max-esque painting… It will change a lot of course before it’s done, but here’s where it’s at right now.

    It’s the hand from the first photo in the entry below… I may redraw it from a different angle because it looks weird in the best of cases.

  3. I’ve never been good with hands. They make me stop drawing. I don’t know why they are so hard to draw! Seeing your hands puts my own skills into perspective. No offense!

    So now you look like a girl because you have tattoos? I remember a decade ago when lots of people thought you were a girl because your name is Shannon. Seems there’s a trend here :)

    Huh. My grandma just told me that I look like a guy because I have tattoos. Changing times, I guess.

    It’s not just the angle of the hand but the pressure points from how she is handeling the brush. If you tweak the middle finger and thumb a bit more, it’ll make sense.

    sure they are!

    I love people’s reactions to body modifications; even if they are not that nice, they still say a lot about those who express them.

    one of my most recent ones was about a monk approaching me and asking ‘Excuse me, why there are so many tattooed people in town today?’
