We Love Our Internships and We Have The Tattoos To Prove It

August 13, 2015

Our summer at the Center of the West is coming to a close, and we interns are starting to say our goodbyes to Cody one by one. Before we all parted ways, though, we figured we wanted to do something to commemorate our time here together. So we took a field trip to the local tattoo parlor on Main Street and got ourselves freshly inked.

We conservation interns are WRIST takers.

CFM intern Ryan Hodges sports a Center of the West tattoo and his signature wide-brimmed Stetson.

Education intern and man about town Levi Meyer receives his first tattoo and learns that beauty comes with a price.

The best part about our new tats is that they’re completely 100% forever permanent. These babies are never coming off. Ever. Unless you’re my mom and you’re reading this in which case they come off with a little bit of baby oil and soap and water. Love you, Mom.
