What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?

I want to get a tattoo of a red octopus on the back of my calf. Octopuses are loners. They stick to themselves but are very lovable creatures. Have you seen My Octopus Teacher on Netflix? You can learn a lot about octopuses from this documentary.

My first interaction with an octopus was in Orlando Florida at the aquarium. They have a Red Octopus in there. They are so big and pretty and they can sense human interaction.

The last time I visited that same aquarium, we saw the same octopus. We realized that upon admiring and interacting with the octopus, it too was interacting with us. It was such an exhilarating and humbling experience.

I love octopuses. I think they are misunderstood and I can certainly relate to that.
