Me: Oh. I need you to listen to Hanson songs cos my next tat is gonna be a line from one of their songs
Him: Ergh. Fine.
Me: Yup. So listen listen listen. They have … four studio albums: Middle of Nowhere, This Time Around, Underneath, The Walk. + a bunch of other songs
Him: I gotta stare at that shit the rest of my life? Really?
Me: WHY WONT YOU LOVE HANSON. WHY.
Him: It’s not like those fools write literature or spout compelling quotes that will empower me through the dark dayz of my lyf
Me: BUT THEY EMPOWERED ME WHEN I WAS AN AWKWARD SMALL TOWN GIRL DEALING WITH TROUBLED TIMES ETC SO I WIN
Him: Now I gotta fuckin carress your wrist with my sweet soft lips and fucken come across ‘mmmbob’

I’m not certain if I’ll be able to get my second tattoo in time for my birthday (the 31st) but I’ve already decided on what to get. I spent the afternoon checking out other Hanson fans’ tattoos (there are a good number out there and some of them aren’t so well-made =/) to get an idea of what not to get. I’m definitely avoiding the common ones (the Hanson symbol, headphones from Underneath, barcode scanners (wait, wut), MMMBop, Ngi Ne Themba, and the walking silhouettes from The Walk) and the freaky ones (their faces).

I can’t wait.
