A friend of mine whose daughters are named after some awful pretty flowers has, as a tribute, the exact same awful pretty flowers tattooed across her back and shoulders. I am so insanely jealous of her it hurts, because I wish my shoulders looked that pretty.

But now I've found something even cooler, and I also find myself thinking something I never thought before: Angelina Jolie kind of rocks. According to this article -- thanks Jez! -- the mom of four has the geo-cache coordinates of her children tattooed on her shoulder.

"The first coordinate on her shoulder - N 11 33 0 E 104 51 00 - pinpoints a spot near a pond just outside the airport in the Cambodian capital of Phomn Penh where, supposedly, Maddox, was born.

"The second coordinate - N 9 2 0 E 38 45 0 - leads to a house in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, where her daughter Zahara was born."

And so on ...

She's pregnant again, obviously, and looking to give birth in France, so look out all you fans of N 11 31 0 54 86 1, because nerds are headed your way.

Seen any cooler way to tattoo-honor your kids? I don't think so.
