1. Have you ever cried during a tattoo?
* No. I'm as manly as a girl can get and still be vaguely girly.
2. When did you get your first tattoo?
* I was seven. It was my dad's idea. My mom objected.
3. What was your first tattoo?
* Bambi. It might have been my dad's idea but I got to pick the subject matter.
4. Which tattoo is closest to your heart?
* Probably the heart. I had it put (appropriately slightly left of the center of my chest. Also, it's pretty)
5. Do you have a matching tattoo with someone?
* Indeedy. Bull and I got matching daggers. We were madly in love. I at 17, he at 43. It was a turbulent and shortlived relationship. I regret nothing.
6. Do you have a tattoo that someone messed up on?
* I choose to believe that it adds character to my body. Not many people have someone else's name obviously spelled incorrectly on them. (Did he think I wouldn't notice that he had spelled Gerard "Belard"? That what I get for not spelling it out one letter at a time.)
7. Do you have anyone’s name tattooed on you?
* Belard. He meant so much to me.
8. What was the most painful tattoo you received?
* Probably the skull and crossbones I have on the inner part of my elbow. Didn't cry though, don't forget that.
9. How many tattoos do you have?
* 36. No, 37. Unless you count the big one as two. It was originally two but when they were two close I had then combined into one. Thankfully they were an angel and a devil. All it took was some fire and fanciful swords and voila! It made sense.
10. Do you plan on being heavily or moderately tattooed?
* It's a little too late to plan on anything.
11. Do you have a tattoo that you constantly have to explain?
* Well, Belard causes some confusion. And then there's my favorite quote. No one ever gets it. Fine so maybe "Get me a scone!" is a little odd. It's funny though.
12. Have you ever gotten an infection from a tattoo?
* Twice, but kicked it without medicine both times.
13. Which one took the longest?
* Probably the sleeve on my left leg. Tiger stripes. I kinda wished I hadn't gone through my tiger phase in high school.
14. What is the biggest tattoo that you have and how long did it take?
* The fight scene between Michael and Beelzebub. Across my back and down my hip. Nearly a week. As I've said, I'm tough. The toughest. Hahaha!
15. Did you tell your parents?
* My mom still doesn't know. She thinks my dad caved. The downside is I have to wear turtlenecks, pants, and heavy make-up year round.
16. Do you regret having gotten any of your tattoos?
* I never regret anything ever. Not the time I got drunk on vodka in a biker bar in a strange city (They were surprisingly gentlemanly.) Not the time I forgot to go to classes for 3 weeks. (I kept getting distracted.) And I certainly don't regret a single tattoo.
17. Would you consider ever getting any of your tattoos removed?
* Maybe if I run out of room.
18. What are you going to get for your next tattoo?
* Meh, I'll decide when I get there. I like to do it on spur of the moment.
19. Do you think members of the opposite sex with a lot of tattoo are hot?
* Meh, I am ambivalent.
20. Are you unfortunate to have an arm band tattoo?
* *sigh* I got one while they were still popular. Oh, misguided youth.
21. How many people have tattooed you?
* I've lost count.
22. Do any of your tattoos have color?
* All but 4.
