I have the worst timing... I was always a big Calvin & Hobbes fan so I decided to get Calvin on my arm. Two things happened almost immediately after: 1) Bill Watterson retired from drawing the strip; and 2) every Whiskey Tango in the country slapped a bumper sticker on their car showing a Calvin knock-off urinating on everything from the competitor brand to "my baby daddy/momma".

You'd be amazed how many people now don't even know about C&H anymore. Some guy came up to me and said, "Hey, that's that kid that pees on stuff. I like that guy!" *sigh*

So... me and jetboatdeath went and got inked tonite... I added more to my 1/2 sleeve, and JBD got his kids names in Binary digits on his forearm. Im pleased with how the 1/2 sleeve is progressing, now that I have 3 of the 'Kan schools done... Koto Ryu, Gyoko Ryu, and Togakure Ryu... I took a couple pics tonite, but its late... so I'll try and get em uploaded tomorrow.

I have one tattoo, on my shoulder. I got it the day after I passed my black belt in 2006. I had been thinking about a tattoo for years, but the idea of getting a martial arts (eg a dragon or yin-yang) never occurred to me. An acquaintance showed me a tat he got in California after competing in the Iron Man. That made sense to me. My grading came after many years of training, so it seemed like something I could live with.

My son, about 15 at the time, helped me design it. I took a black gif of a tied black belt, put the calligraphy for hapkido and karate on it, and that was it. That was a big step for me -- I grew up with a negative stigma about tats. A couple of years later, when my son was old enough to get a tattoo, I visited the artist and had her add the circle with the colours of our belts, excluding the white belt, because I'm pretty pale skinned anyway.

My son has two nice shoulder pieces. He researched his family's ancestry very thoroughly, read a lot of mythology and history, and settled aspects of his heritage that he found appealing. My family's Norwegian, so he went with a Norse theme for his first piece. It's very nice.

The other shoulder is Native American. My wife is from Kentucky and her grandma was Cherokee. Tucker's a history buff, and was very moved by the Trail of Tears and decided to honour that as part of the image. I don't have a pic of that one.
