New tattoos, Tumblr, and I’m quite fond of them. It was my birthday this week, so Dakota took me out and we got inked together. He got his first, and I got my second and third, pictured above.

The ink on my forearm is a modified version of the logo that the American Atheists use. For me, it is a constant reminder that science and reason trump superstition, and that I am good without god. The missing part of the loop symbolizes the gap in knowledge that humanity still experiences — Science does not yet provide all of the answers. 

The lines on my finger are a symbol of equality, and a personal reminder to never stop fighting for it. Finger tattoos usually fade and blur relatively quickly, and it’s my hope that the need for the reminder will fade with the ink.
