Less than 3 years ago, though, I was someone who claimed that she'd never get a single tattoo.

Yet, I'd tell anyone who asked (and some who didn't) thatI had "decided" on a quote from the operaTosca - e' lucevan le stelle - as what i "would" ge for my first tattoo.

Now, with my third design in the works, here's what I have to say about tattoos....and why you should probably JUST GET ONE. It's a story about how I got over my fear of commitment and rejection...and got all tatted up in one fell swoop.
