Ink!

RantWoman wants INK. 

RantWoman thought vaguely of getting a tattoo around her most recent decade milestone a couple years ago. It didn't happen then. RantWoman kind of just didn't get around to it.

But lately RantWoman's interest in getting a tattoo has picked up again. The motivations are partly world affairs, partly various yearly cycles, partly grief over having to say Goodbye to the Queen of Spades, partly a sense of perhaps upping the level of badassery in life.

Here we come to important questions:

What tattoos should RantWoman get?

Where should she get them?

First the where: decent chance of being either easily seen or easily covered depending on the situation. Also somewhere that is not going to hurt too much. Stay tuned for further consideration.

As to what tattoo to get,

1. RantWoman has a whole camera app full of pictures of the Queen of Spades, aka the #pandemic sanity goddess. Making one of the photos a tattoo seems somehow much more satisfying than some container of ashes.

2. Consider the Gorbachev era anti alcoholism slogan Kefir is the vodka of the future: Кефир водка будущего

3. RantWoman is toying with ideas about flowers, other significant letter combinations and symbols.

4. Some kind of PrincetonTiger?

At this point, RantWoman put her thoughts into her most available search engine and all sorts of things turned up.


Fun fact: there is a bit about a much discussed thematic tatto.

Digression into the long fog of Presidential primaries as mediated by Twitter / X: someone is floating the idea of Michelle Obama running for President.

Let's see: 
Michelle Obama. Princeton undergrad. Harvard Law
Ted Cruz. Princeton Undergrad. Harvard Law.

RantWoman would strongly prefer Michelle Obama. Michell could definitely do it or find good advisors to assist her, if she had even the slightest temptation to test the waters.

But look, someone demurred, never mind party. Look at all the titles Ted Cruz has had.

Well, people actually LIKE, respect, admire Michelle Obama!


And to close this time warped wandering through both personal and global events, a younger YouTube voice RantWoman has come to appreciate.




Will RantWoman actually GET a tattoo?

Stay tuned.....
