Here’s a closeup of the newer one. Pardon the swollen. I know I should wait until it’s healed to post things, and I waited for the Bay Bridge one, but…how could I not show this off on the bridge’s 75th anniversary?
Hello. I have bridges on my shoulderblades.

*standing there vaguely looking at me*

Me:
Do you need help with something for the class?
-
Student:
No, I'm waiting for my TA.

Student:
*pause*

Student:
*points at the tattoo on my ankle* Is that a- an?
-
Me:
Seismogram?
-
Student:
Yeah, seismogram.
-
Me:
It is.
-
Student:
That's...not something you ever see.
-
Me:
I actually met one other person with a seismogram tattoo. I met her at an earthquake conference, though.

Student:
*shakes head* NorCal people.

Looks like the artist took a lot of care to make the ink exactly international orange, too. Bonus points!
