"This tattoo won’t come off
I thought it was the lick ’em/stick ’em kind
But I couldn’t figure out what that machine was for
Or why I was in so much pain"

katie said at 7:40 PM 11-14-2001: don't cry. i know we're due for a road trip. i wish it could be sooner than mardi gras.
i asked jane initially about coming with me for thanksgiving, and she said she really needed an irresponsible trip to d.c. then later she said she couldn't go. so i can't drive alone, and everyone has plans, and blah blah.
i owe you an email or a phone call.
things are busy.

It's been my planned tattoo/math joke since I was 16. I liked to tell math geeks I was getting a Mandelbrot tattoo just to hear them stutter, "You can't do that ... that'll take forever and cost an infinite amount of money!"

and really, im not trying to crush your dreams or whatnot, but tattoos tend to lose their definition as time goes by, and there is a good chance that in the not too distant future, it will appear that you have a big blob on your back...
