my cousin has dengue. he’s 12. we’re a tightly-knit family; so you can only imagine how beset the entire bajak was with worry as we looked for an A+ blood donor.

in the midst of this ordeal, my sister made a remarkable realization, remarkable enough that it warranted sharing. she said, that people who opt to get tattoos are reducing the chances of another person surviving a life-threatening illness…i know, i know, i’m risking an uprising by men and women in ink. besides, no argument can hold its ground against art and freedom of expression. (i’m in a tight position, too, since i find tattoos hot!)

but still, before your first tat, think about whose life might just need saving in the future.
