Unlike many of the people I interview, she was not interested in stopping to talk to me, but did share, as long as I walked with her. The photo was snapped when we waited for the light to change.<br /><br />She got the tattoo somewhere in the East Village, she said, and explained a bit about the tattoo:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">"I collect agricultural books, like pieces from old books from the 1800s, early 19th century, and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyacinthoides_non-scripta">bluebell</a> is my favorite flower and I came across a few that were bluebell dissections ... it's taken from that."</blockquote>Thanks to Megan for sharing her favorite flower with us here on Tattoosday!<br /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This entry is ©2013 Tattoosday.</span></span></div><span id="docs-internal-guid-793fe941-12ca-8005-8952-c60e790c37a3"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></span><br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are seeing this on another website other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.
