Q. So much is happening here in India. Esperanza and I are finally starting to relax now that we've identified the place where we want to get Ryan his tat. Thanks for the suggestions, everybody! We still have to book the appointment.
Anyway, remember that “backpacker” we saw getting tattooed at Baby Tiger Tattoo in Randi Market? We ended up seeing her in a ‘dhaba’ (like a diner) with her boyfriend....and their little one! It turns out they are Israeli. So we chatted with them and about their tattoo experience. Aleah (the backpacker) has a whole bunch of tattoo’s. She has:
- a white tiger on her left ankle
- two tigers with Chinese symbol’s for best friends in between on left shoulder
- memorial for her dead ferret on right ankle
- a dragonfly on right shoulder
- a dragonfly on wrist – that was the one we saw her getting!
She told us the story behind each one, and we were very touched. So meaningful! All I can say is that we are VERY anxious (in a good way)!
Their daughter, Netanya, is around 7 month’s, so she and Ryan got along well. Aleah and Namir (bf) invited us to go hiking with them in Dharamsala – that is up in the mountain’s where the Dalai Lama lives!!!
We really want to go, but there is one small problem. As you know, Esperanza thinks women with tattoo’s are sort of trashy.....I know, I know....she can’t help it though, it’s her cultural upbringing. I think it’s ironic because Aleah and Namir are Israeli and they are not “supposed” to get tattoo’s either...Ranza doesn’t get the irony.
Help! What can I do to convince her otherwise??? I REALLY want to go to Dharamsala (and I know she would enjoy it, too)....

A. I have been following this saga from the beginning, From the dragonfly picture that I saw from the "Baby Tiger" artist, she is an amazing artist and I am sure that this backpacker's other ink is amazing as well! I really can't wait to see a picture of the ferret tattoo if you can get one because I lost my pet rat a while ago, and I have been looking for a memorial tattoo design on the internet and haven't been able to find one! I think with a picture of the memorial tattoo for the back packer's ferret in hand, I might be able to go to my artist and get my tattoo started! I mean without an exact picture of what you want, how can you expect your artist to get the tattoo right?!?
But I digress...
Anyway, if Esperanza has seen the amazing art that on this woman, and she still thinks that tattoos on women are trashy, then there is no changing her mind! I mean, it is pretty much the same as someone seeing Jesus perform a miracle live, right in front of them, and them still not believing! At this point there may be no hope. However, before your friends start off on their journey, can you please get the ferret pic and email it to me? my address is tribal_and_butterflies_ and_rats_4 ever @ tat.com (take out the spaces).
Thanks and good luck with Ranza!

What does it represent when a woman has a tattoo on her ankle?
Q. I've known two people with this. First was my sixth grade teacher, she had a butterfly tattooed there. Then it was my therapist. I recently saw hers, couldn't see what it was clearly. An answer from an old question said that it meant that they were a lesbian. Is that true? Or is it because they work in respectable places so they can't show tattoos anywhere else but the ankle?
A. It doesn't mean anything other than they like tattoos. I have one on my ankle and 5 other ones in places ranging from my hips, neck, and arm. None of them can be seen unless I want them to be seen.
