Name: Ali Lotz

Year: Junior

Major: Fine Arts

Location: Left wrist

Tattoo: The phrase comes from a Jack Kerouac quote: “Don’t use the telephone, people are never ready to answer it. Use poetry.” written in her own handwriting. Ali got it in 2013, the summer before she transferred to Penn.

Parent approved?: She texted her parents before getting it, and they didn’t believe she would. When she showed it to them later that day, they were pretty shocked, but ultimately OK with it.
