How many tattoos do you have and what are they?
I have two - one on each foot. They are a fish and a bird.
What do they mean?
The fish will swim anywhere and the bird will fly anywhere and they will take me where I want to go because I am on the ground.
Do you plan on getting more done?
Yes, on my ribs. I want to get buckeye leaves and buckeyes, script Ohio, the number 100 because I am in the 100th class of Sphinx senior honoree and that represents everything Ohio State to me.
On a scale of one to 10, how much did they hurt?
The fish was about an 8 and the bird was a 10. It hurt more for some reason and I had to get it done twice.

How many tattoos do you have?
Four.
What are they of?
The two that are on the outside of my arms mean: "through this" on my right arm, and on my left "through anything, everything and nothing." So basically, it's if I can make it through this, I can make it through anything.
The significance
This was to represent what I wanted out of life which is just a peaceful existence. So it looks kind of like a yin/yang because I want this harmonious existence, but it's not like a typical yin/yang because my peace won't be like anyone else's peace. And what it really is is a wave crest, because when I figured out what I wanted I was sitting out on the beach at night in Australia. I drew them all myself.
Do you plan to get more?
I want to get more, but I don't know what.
