So I made this big brouhaha about how committed I am to my new life as a writer, and more specifically to my logo.  I went so far as to promise that I’d get it tattooed permanently on my skin…

So I did.

Yeah man, I am so badarse-hardcore that I even shock myself.

It was professionally and hygenically tattooed by my Tattoo God Rick Almond at Splash of Color Tattoos in Ascot Vale.  It only took about an hour or so for him to do the initial outline and shading – I’ll have to go back for some colourisation soon!

I chose to get it done on Good Friday, when the shop donates ALL their profits to the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. Bloody Legends!  A friend of mine Amy filmed the tattooing and conducted a pretty funny interview with me prior to the needle onset!  I’m planning to get a bit more footage when its completed and then YouTube my pain for all to see.

It’s my new favourite tattoo.  I LOVE IT!!!!

No going back

Some people think I’m crazy, some think I’m a fool…some just tell me how much they love Dan Brown too….*sigh* But most people are just curious about its meaning and genuinely impressed by its visual appeal. They are my kind of people.

I feel like I have a constant reminder of who I am now. What I’m here to do…

Now just to go do it!
