<\/p>\nYou know, the usual. Spent 5 hours in a tattoo parlor on St. Mark’s Place. Tattoos received by all (well, not by me, but then I already have one. Actually, Betsy already has three – but she got another one). I was there for moral support. The rest of the time was spent involving various alcoholic beverages, much conversation, so many blow-up mattresses in my apartment that we could have been airborne with a single gust of wind, my overflowing toilet and Michele suddenly becoming McGyver (in a velvet jacket and silk scarf) fixing it … and also peeling off the various bandages to stare at and take photos of all of the tattooes.<\/p>\n
Oh, and we also partook in a ukelele festival.<\/p>\n
So yeah. It was a well-rounded weekend. Thanks, Beans – thanks, Liz – for your awesome tattoo artistry!<\/p>\n

Mere being worked on by “Beans”. We loved Beans. He was fascinated by Meredith’s half-amputated toe and a little bit in love with it. “This might sound really weird – but can I touch it?” She laughed and said sure, so he gently touched her stub, marveling at it. They had a humorous discussion about painting a fake nail on the “stub” … and he made her promise that should she ever decide to do it, she would let HIM do it. “Seriously, I would give you a huge deal on the price … just promise me you’ll let me do it.” Mere said, “You could add it to your portfolio.” “Absolutely!” We loved Beans.<\/p>\n
Oh, and Beans – respectfully, declined to do Betsy’s tattoo. For the funniest reason!! We were all guffawing about it. “Yeah, Liz can do that one,” he said. See if you can guess which one he wouldn’t do.<\/p>\n

Beth getting worked on by Liz. We were like, “How ya doin’ Beth?” Beth responds, “It’s not as bad as childbirth!” Also, we were reminding each other, “Yeah, so, Beth has MS. I think she can handle a little tattoo needle!!”<\/p>\n
