I love typographical tattoos.<br /><br />You've read about them here before in <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/05/tattoosday-event-and-book-review-body.html">this post</a>, among others.<br /><br />Last month I met Melissa, in <a href="http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/map/44995457/new_york_ny/borders.html">Borders</a> at 2 Penn Plaza, and she shared this tattoo, right below her left collar bone:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHHDbqhZF3QielDyxn1zMHhRRfGYkwFkkj1a0sd314QhYvDW_Ko0hQJaCv7z9RLWncMFjPo3YhYCxd_BiCVu9ysvK7ioR1DO6uuy4doWVkH_BBfNO4qKJJUh7ldir9fwt1cZRvIxbb/s1600/Ampersand.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHHDbqhZF3QielDyxn1zMHhRRfGYkwFkkj1a0sd314QhYvDW_Ko0hQJaCv7z9RLWncMFjPo3YhYCxd_BiCVu9ysvK7ioR1DO6uuy4doWVkH_BBfNO4qKJJUh7ldir9fwt1cZRvIxbb/s320/Ampersand.jpg" /></a></div><br />This was Melissa's first tattoo (she now has three) and she got it because it is her favorite punctuation mark.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGNYqoexDtmmdT-q0MA0ek7x4Fk3qwJ5KeHo3MRL-HlEiH3MV8N0aQWWL8ockDvD0LMX_ADsslMukewi5C4fi2qAeMmFxU8zba116i-TNo2A5ZNMvfNo5cRW4XabwEdQWz-505z9xP/s1600/amp+detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGNYqoexDtmmdT-q0MA0ek7x4Fk3qwJ5KeHo3MRL-HlEiH3MV8N0aQWWL8ockDvD0LMX_ADsslMukewi5C4fi2qAeMmFxU8zba116i-TNo2A5ZNMvfNo5cRW4XabwEdQWz-505z9xP/s320/amp+detail.jpg" /></a></div><br />She couldn't recall the exact font, but it resembles old English.<br /><br />This tattoo was done in <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fort-Lauderdale-FL/Babylon-Tattoo-and-Body-Piercing/193968252346?v=wall&__a=4&#%21/pages/Fort-Lauderdale-FL/Babylon-Tattoo-and-Body-Piercing/193968252346?v=info&__a=3&ajaxpipe=1">Babylon Tattoo & Body Piercing</a> in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.<br /><br />Thanks to Melissa for sharing her ampersand with us here on Tattoosday!
