The PAMELA tattoo he can't remember, and no Pamela he can remember

texture · UNDATED (pre-Ennet; tattoo undated)

  • When: UNDATED (an intoxicated pre-Ennet impulse)
  • What: In Ewell's Ennet House tattoo survey, the poignant standout is a gorgeous violet arrow-pierced heart with PAMELA incised in a circle on Lenz's right hip — of which Lenz recalls neither the tattoo nor anyone named Pamela (a marker of his blacked-out past; cf. Gately's Pamela Hoffman-Jeep is unrelated). Lenz also does headstands against the closet door in his jockstrap, and cattily points out that Jennifer Belbin's four tattooed teardrops make her look, from two meters off, "like she has flies on her."
