after my next weight goal, which is to get back under 200 lbs, i want to get a tribute tattoo for my uncle squire.
when the ground was finally ready to be tilled, he planted tomatoes. big boys were his specialty, and he treated those plants like babies. when they were finally ripe to eat, we went to the garden and picked the reddest, juiciest looking tomatoes on the vine. we’d go back to his car, where he’d pull out a salt shaker from somewhere and his knife from his pocket. five minutes after pulling the fruits from the vine, he’d be cutting the tomatoes into slices and passing them out with the salt shaker for a true bite of summer. 
on my left shoulder, i want to get a variation of a tomato plant. maybe a salt shaker? maybe a pocket knife? i want to talk to my tattoo lady about it, and i’m open to any ideas she has about it. i’m excited about it though!
