I am not a tatooist. If I tattooed anyone, they would be very upset. Other tattooists would be upset, to say nothing of the tattoo. But there is a famous tattooist named Sarah Miller, and what happened is someone googled Sarah Miller, I guess, and was like, oh, I found her, and wrote me.

I know about the famous tattoo artist Sarah Miller because I know about Sarah Millers. Such as: the author of a book called Miss Spitfire, Sarah Miller, a former Treasury Department aide, Sarah Miller, and the Founding Editor-in-Chief of Conde Nast Traveller UK, who is now something called a “Brand Stategist,” Sarah Miller. Incidentally, I think I would rather randomly tattoo someone than be a brand strategist.
