Exactly. And there’s another layer to this. Do you know who else has a floral tattoo on her forearm? Ruby. Pure floral, not a la embroidery, but still. She got it in Oaxaca when we were here in 2019. At, wait for it… the same studio I went to. Pure karmic happenstance, which is the best kind.

Well, it’s not an either/or. You can still bring home refrigerator magnets. Which are, to be fair, a little easier to swap out if you get bored of the view.

But do let us know if your next souvenir is more permanent. We’ll expect a full report.

Google Translate says: “Thank you very much for the trust, we hope to see you soon for a new project. Good trip!”

That’s from Francisco, the owner of Exodos.

Many thanks, sir. I’m proud to carry your studio’s work with me.

Google Translate: Muchas gracias, señor. Estoy orgulloso de llevar el trabajo de su estudio conmigo.
