Get Inked!

Owls and roses were two of the designs participants received during Residence Life Association’s “Get Inked!” event, an event that attracted 79 students to The Hub from 7-9 p.m Tuesday night.

During this event, students stuck their hands through a hole in the curtain and let Resident Advisors put on random temporary tattoos. Students were separated by a black curtain with a single hole to put their arm through. On the other side, an RA would choose the design and apply the tattoo. Students didn’t see the design until it was completed.

RLA also provided refreshments including Subway and drinks.

Curiosity was the theme of the event. Some participants wondered what the tattoo would add to their overall look.

“I was curious about what the tattoo was going to be and if it would provide an aesthetic to my arm,” Devin Fulton, 22, junior of Glenrock, Wyoming said.

The tattoos were diverse in sizes and shape. The designs were also unique and ranged from inspirational quotes to superheroes and giant skulls.

Each of the attendants got free, unexpected tattoos. RAs enjoyed putting random tattoos on their residents’ arms. RA Mikaela Franzen, 21, junior of Gurley, said that a lot of “suspects” made this event enjoyable.

“We had a lot of fun back here, because you don’t know what you’re going to, you just throw some stuff out there,” Franzen said.
