Great idea for a ink job.

The kitty is a howl.

Thanks bro! I was always told that tattoos should mean something.

BTW, my other tattoo is a black Apple logo. :)

The new tattoo looks wonderful. Even if it is not the right brand of clip, it is - as we say - emotionally true.

Within three weeks of my father's sub-arachnoid hemorrhage, he was back at work without any neurological deficits. Doctors continue to examine him with awe and wonder.

Awesome news about your Dad!
He and I have something in common! Well besides thinking you're groovy. :)

"without looking like one."

Really? Thank you for that self-esteem boost. :)

PS: Even when you're gimpy, you dance better than I do.

Duck. Skin. Duck skin. Mmmmmm...

"You all should consider working for a University."

I'm always pimping UCSF to my friends and family. The pay isn't bad given the benefits except in my department where I can't have a personal space heater for freezing ass cold days. ;P

Nice to finally see the tattoo you've talked about. It looks great and even better since a good friend did the work!

I know, but just think about what an uncomfortable situation it would have been if it turned out badly.

Thankfully, I didn't, and I'm glad you like it. :)
