A woman gets a tattoo of a lion bursting from a jungle. It stretches from her neck to her left buttock. It costs 33 hours of her time, $4,000, and a lot of pain. Why? Perfectly reasonable explanation, one that could probably make it into a Supreme Court opinion by Justice Kennedy:

> "A person gets caught up in being a mother, being a wife, working at a job," Schmitt said. "Suddenly, it's 10 years later and you say, 'Who am I? What happened to Reeta?' That's why I got this tattoo in the first place. I wanted to create something that shows what's inside." She paused and put her hand over her heart, and then to her head. "I wanted to remember what was inside here."
