There's Ink Under that Sweater Set

In Portland you see normal looking girls, dressed in professional clothes like they are headed to work or in a sun dress headed off to class just like you would in any other city, except in Portland you realize that is not a print on their shirt sleeve it's an arm full of ink. It is amazing to me how many young women have tattoos, and I am not just talking about an ankle tat or one on the lower back. I am talking all up and down the arms and legs, while everything else about them looks like the girl next door. In the old days you expected this look from biker chicks or girls with purple hair, not your nurse practitioner. I bet it would be impossible to find a women in Portland between the ages of 20 and 35 that does not have some kind of tattoo.
