Jacinda Smith

Knight Errant: What’s your tattoo?

Jacinda Smith: A semicolon on my wrist and my mom’s birthday on my forearm. 

KE: When and where did you get your tattoo? 

JS: It was in Orlando and Fort Myers, when I was 16 and 17. 

KE: Why did you choose the design you did? 

JS: I got a semicolon- for mental health awareness and did it on my wrist as a reminder. The second one is my mom’s birthday, so one day maybe I’ll remember it. 

KE: Did it hurt? How did you feel getting it, were you nervous? 

JS: I cried because it hurt on the bone. 

KE: Have you always wanted a tattoo? Is it something you thought about for a while or kind of a rash decision? 

JS: I’ve always wanted one, but in the moment, it was an impulse decision. 

KE: Do you think you’ll regret this? 

JS: At first I kind of regretted it, but now I like it.
