About Us
Dear Chris Brown’s Tattoo,
This must be a confusing time for you.
One day, you are just a vial of ink in a tattoo shop, innocently awaiting your turn to ink up some random person.
Next thing you know, the unthinkable happens. Chris Brown walks into your tattoo shop and requests a “sugar skull” on his neck. Now you have no choice but to spend the rest of your existence trapped underneath the skin of one of the most unfortunate pop culture figures to ever exist.
As if things could not get any worse, this supposed “sugar skull” bears an uncanny resemblance to Rihanna’s face in the infamous beaten picture of her. Although Chris has denied this connection, the similarities are eerily undeniable.
And to think, you could’ve been Rihanna’s awesome new underboob tat.
Luckily, there is one thing you can do: get infected. Please, Chris Brown’s Tattoo, infect the shit out of Chris Brown.
Do it for those of us who cannot.
Unsolicitedly Yours,
Jenna

What makes the Gavel so BANGin’? Everyone is just the perfect amount of weird. It is one of very few environments in which I don't feel like the weirdest person in the room.
If you could go back in time and give yourself a pep talk the night before you moved into BC as a freshman, what is the most important piece of advice that you would give to your former self? I would offer myself a friendly reminder that everyone comes to college friend-less, and therefore looking for friends. Before coming to BC, I pictured myself eating every meal in solitude because I forgot that I wasn't the only person who would be entering day one without really knowing anybody. That was silly of me.
What is your favorite study spot on campus? Stuart law classrooms.
