Here is 20-year-old-Daughter's newest ink, which is my favorite of her tattoos.
This is her teeny, little ankle. I woke her up to take this picture. She was a little cranky about it. Bitch.
As a child, one of her favorite books was Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher by Bruce Coville. So she wanted the dragon to be red with green eyes, like Tiamat. I can't help but think of Fountains of Wayne's song...
Red Dragon Tattoo
Monday gonna take a ride on
The n train down to Coney Island
With the money I saved
Gonna get me engraved
Drink down a lot of Basil Hayden
Get kicked out when I can't see straight
What an island can be on
Under the neon
Red dragon tattoo
Is just about on me
I got it for you
So now do you want me?
With nothing to prove
Will you be my honey, oh yeah
In you I confide
Red dragon tattoo
I'm fit to be dyed
Am I fit to have you?
I hear the man say, "You want to see the others
A mermaid and a heart that says mother?"
But I don't know from maritime
And I never did hard time
I brought a .38 Special cd collection
Some Bactine to prevent infection
And in case I get queasy
A photo of Easy Rider
Red dragon tattoo
Is just about on me
I got it for you
So now do you want me?
With nothing to prove
Will you be my honey, oh yeah
In you I confide
Red dragon tattoo
I'm fit to be dyed
Am I fit to have you?
Will you stop pretending I've never been born
Now I look a little more like that guy from Korn
If you came a little bit closer
You'd see it isn't painted on
Oh no no no
Red dragon tattoo
Is just about on me
I got it for you
So now do you want me
With nothing to prove
Will you be my honey, oh yeah
In you I confide
Red dragon tattoo
Im fit to be dyed
Am I fit to have you
