MARKED
WASHINGTON, DC -- OCTOBER 3: Sabrina Elliotte, 24, of Rockville. "My favorite tattoo is in my armpit. I used to work for sideshows and they used to staple money to me. People used to staple it in my armpits, and on my face and everywhere. I just thought it would be funny to get a staple gun in my armpit. For me, [pain] is just a mental thing. I like to know that I can get over it on my own. It's empowering to know that I can make myself calm and centered and I can handle it and that it will be okay, it's only temporary."
