For years I’ve been telling my mom I’m going to get her a tattoo. She’s always wanted one, even though she’d never admit it, but could never justify the expense. Who would pay someone to inject ink under you skin? The last few times I’ve told her I’m going to get her one, she’s countered by telling me that I always say that but never come through. So today, mom, me and my sister Samantha went to Extreme Graphix out in Geneva and my mom and I got ourselves tattooed (Samantha is too young). We both got symbols for Capricorn, which is our sign, though my mom went a little flashier than I.
