Didn’t get any tattoos there, or you would have heard about it by now. They’re actually really taboo over there. I was unable to visit any onsen (hot springs) or water parks or anything. Everything strictly forbade tattooed people, because of the association with yakuza. I’m American, female, and have cutesy tattoos – totally not [...]

Excited About Tomorrow
It’s silly I guess, but I’m excited about my new tattoo tomorrow. I usually keep my tattoo thoughts over on my IAM blog, but this is a little more philosophical than most, so I’m going to make an extra post here in addition to the obligatory pictures tomorrow. For some reason I have this feeling [...]
Three Paws
Three Paws, originally uploaded by woofiegrrl. Got my third paw print added today. I miss you, Amanita.
Forever Bunz
my leg, originally uploaded by woofiegrrl. I finally got my tattoo to mark our 10th anniversary. The anniversary was in February but it took me a while to decide on a design. It was supposed to be something my wife designed, but she never did…so I picked this instead. Her nickname for me has been [...]
Tattoo Meme
Stolen from Jessi – thanks girl! 1. Have you ever cried during a tattoo? Definitely. My first tattoo was absolutely awful, I had never experienced pain like that before and I was in tears most of the time!
Out and About
I slept from about 7:15am to 11:40am, and that was the only sleep I got last night. After I woke up, we went downtown to Jinx Proof to show them the drawing from the artist out in California. The price the guy at the counter gave me for the tattoo was about $400-450 and something [...]
ILY Tattoo Ideas
I’ve been playing around with the idea of a deafness-related tattoo for a while now. Of course the only thing I can really come up with is the ILY handshape – anything else seems like it would be too complicated, although I did know a girl with a finely detailed tattoo of the sign for [...]
Hamilton
Today we docked in Hamilton, the capital of Bermuda. We arrived about an hour later than scheduled, but we didn’t have any morning plans so we didn’t mind. When we got through customs I called the dive shop on a pay phone, but they said the trip would probably be canceled due to lack of [...]
Bullet Update
Today I am down to 161 pounds. I started 2006 at 187.5 pounds. That’s progress, but I still have a while to go. I now know three people who have the Sidekick 3. I am not one of them, and I only ever see one in person but he doesn’t usually have his with him [...]
Weekend
This weekend I biked 19 miles around Manhattan, got my second paw print at Fine Line Tattoo, did not get to meet Alan Cumming, had a treat from Coldstone Creamery because I’d biked so damn hard, and walked two miles from the tattoo shop to my friend’s house. Not in that order, of course, although [...]
