Tattoo!

Today I went to Tailor Made Tattoo and made an appointment for August 10 to get a hedgehog tattoo! I had picked out two designs from Hugh Warwick's book The Hedgehog's Dilemma (check it out here) and the plan was one hedgie for each shoulder. I went down, got an estimate, and decided that my funds would allow me to get one tattoo for now, and I would just have to save the other for a later paycheck. I'm so excited! Tattoos are incredibly addictive and this will be my fourth. I like to think of my shoulder hedgies as hedgehog guardians; stone lions sit outside of libraries, and inked hedgehogs sit on either side of me.
