Susan Smith: Cool Wisconsin Tattoo

Can you top this as a Wisconsin tattoo?

We found it on the calf of Jessie Harlequinn, a Madison fiber artist. It shows the state as a fabric patch, its borders “stitched” to her leg. The star shows Madison, where she lives now, and the heart represents her hometown of Milwaukee.

“It’s a heart because home is where my heart is.”

In addition to her art work, Harlequinn is training this summer to try out for the Mad Rollin Dolls roller derby league.
