Tattoo shops can be intimidating places. Even as a grown adult, there's a part of me who still assumes everyone who works there is like rilly rilly cool and making fun of me behind my back.

snooki
Snooki tells us what post-baby sex is like, why she plans to keep baby Lorenzo off TV, how building her dream house dictates when she'll finally tie the knot, the unexpected celebrity she just got wasted with in New York and whether or not she has any regrets.
rape
I had no real context or knowledge of what happened in a legal or social sense. I just knew I had a fresh, healing tattoo, and that I hated the person who gave it to me.
fun
They frighten me, and the idea of touching one makes me queasy.
body acceptance
"I do not show my upper arms in public," she confided. "The three-quarter sleeve is my jam." At the time, I felt kind of bad, thinking that she should be happy with her body. And this has remained my policy... for everyone but myself.

bridezillas
A few people I know have balked at the idea of me covering up my tattoos for a wedding. But this is my sister - my one and only - and likely the last time I'll ever do bridesmaid duties for anyone.

Getting a matching tattoo with Sydney felt like a completely reasonable commitment.
cool parents
Kids, don't let that stranger at a party tattoo you with a dirty safety pin and some India ink.

Also, can we talk about my second Bat Mitzvah?

I sort of thought being a model was like being a hooker, where you can't really work anywhere reputable once you've got ink.

Being a heavily tattooed woman is the equivalent of wearing a schoolgirl skirt 24-7.

Jason Terry and I are both getting our tattoos removed. But, hey, at least I had mine for 15 years, not 15 minutes.
ny ink
How the first episode of "NY Ink" pissed me off mightily, and what my awesome hot talented lady tattoo artist has to say about it.
