EYE COLOR: Blue
CURRENT PIERCINGS: Just one in each ear. I can't believe it.
MY ARTIST: Cracker at A-1 Tattoo in Franklinville, NJ.
JEWELRY: Silver never gold. I think gold is tacky looking.
I WEAR: My class ring on right middle finger. One of those pretty sparkly diamond cut name necklaces in silver. A pink chunky watch and a silver bracelet. I've been a minimalist lately.
TATTOOS: A small heart on r. leg, "melissa" in cursive with 3 flowers, "melissa" in japenese on r. arm, female symbol on left hand in between thumb and pointer finger, and a sacred heart [flames out the top like a pipe, vines with blue rays of light...courtney uses a basic sacred heart as her symbol for contributions made on the "celebrity skin" album.] It reminded me of her. It's huge. I got it on the inset of my right elbow/forearm. It's beautiful and i look like a real hardcore bitch now, pink leopard spots woven into my other uper arm tattoos, a wilted flower with old skool lettering that says, "unloved", a pink scratchy anarchy symbol, a heart with a pink rose wooven in it. Pretty big. Says, "Henry" in the middle of the heart on a banner. That's on my right shoulder/back. "Melissa" in old english lettering going down my right forearm with a little pink ink in it.
*I'm gonna take pics of my tattoos soon and do a section on them.*
COVERED TATTOO: a peace sign.
(i got
that to honor the new kids..hehe)
NEXT TATTOOS: Leopard spots in pink on my right wrist to begin/end my right arm's sleeve is 1st on the list. Hello Kitty with Jeska's name on the foot. An angel on my back. A "K" in the middle of my rib cage. Eventually, i'd like a portrait of Marilyn Monroe and Bettie Page. Shit, i could go on forever. I'd like to finish the sleeve by the end of fall this year.

INSTRUMENT: guitar. I wanna know how but i'm a poser. When i was like 9 i took drum lessons and eventually quit cos i was teased by classmates and even my male teacher for being a girl.
Occupation: Unemployed today, i've been a Taco Bell loser, residential house cleaner [several times], trick, artist, caterer, K-mart checkout girl, zinester, geek, bum, wannabe rockstar/author/poet.
This is Cracker [the hottest tattoo artist in new jersey] doing my arm piece in January 2000.
This is me with the ciggarette hanging out of my mouth
around the same time. I was working at K-mart and my ghetto
bitch Jen stopped in to see me. We went out to Peking buffet
for a banging lunch. FYI: That necklace i'm wearing is the
necklace i wrote the poem about from Henry.
Note: This is the WHORE that wound up fucking Henry like 5 doors down from my apartment months later. Trifflin bitch. Ride or Die my ass.
I think this pic is from Feb or March of 2G. I cut Jeska out of it cos it's the only cutesy pic of me sorta. I'm wearing my shirt that says "pimpercrombie & bitch" , Geekness.
This is me and Jeska my best friend at the rocky horror picture show. She's the fairy. Ain't she snacky? I love her with all of my punk heart. If you look really close in the seat in the background, you can see a weasel named Howard. I call him ducky and that's the fucker who drew the Anime picture. He's a jerk. Girls beware.
I am the girl you know can't look you in the eye. ha-ha. Old picture.
Me about 2 years ago before i got mad tatts. What a poser...;p
