it would be the first, as tattoos go (just totally lost all my subculture street cred, didn't i) and as i've apparently only got the one vein to work with at each elbow, i'll be a lot happier in the long run if i don't obfuscate it.

occasionally this recovering savior complex has to call her sponsor with regard to ben's post-diagnosis showing up. because your caregivers need support, too. if i ever tattoo anything on my arm, it should probably be that.
