Or, rather, I already did. Two, in fact. I was going to get just the spider, but while we were in England one of my classmates suggested I should get an army ant as well. Though he was just joking, the idea took hold in my head. I’m not sure that the ant on my arm is an actually an army ant (it’s a rather imprecise designation), but ants are cool and I liked the picture I decided on, so when I visited my tattoo guy on Tuesday, I figured it would go nicely alongside the spider.

This picture was taken just now, and you can see that the tattoos are in the peely-flaky stage. Still, you get the idea.
