Interrobang

This is Janelle‘s interabang (interrobang) tattoo.

I’m a graphic designer, and during my first year of art school I fell in love with the interabang; the extinct punctuation mark that combined the qustion mark and the exclamation point for moments like “she said what?!?” and so on. I decided that if my life were a symbol that would be it… surprised proclamation. It sort of became the icon for my life, and even became the name and logo of the design company I started after school. Finally this year on my 25th birthday I took the plunge and got it as my first tattoo. This mark means so much to me, and I’m so happy with it!

This is Bud Johnson‘s interrobang tattoo.

2010 was an incredulous year. I ran a marathon. I bought a house. I got a great new job. I got my first tattoo. I started writing an awesome novel that I hope everyone will hear about one day. Every time something great happened the interrobang just seemed like a better and better choice for a first tattoo. Plus most people who know me wouldn’t think I would get a tattoo ever, even more the reason to get one that encapsulated, “!?”
