I take a lot of “selfies.” I am proud of how I look, even at 40, and my tattoos add another dimension to my appearance. The middle image in the above triptych is of the tattoo on my left upper arm, a silhouette of me in kindergarten, with a “happy brain” and stars added to it. I envisioned this particular tattoo during a hospitalization, and it is kind of a migraine self portrait. The image on the left was taken almost a year ago at my cousin’s wedding, and the one on the right I took several months ago.
