I Skinned Myself!

Monday, May 12, 2008 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

You always hear me talking about ways to customize your Windows desktop, well I took it a step further and actually skinned myself this past weekend.  This isn't my first, but it is the largest single tattoo I have at this time.

I guess I'll explain my design before someone asks. my mom's name was Kay, and my wife's name is Kitten... thus the 2 K's. The left with the blood drop is for my mom, and the right with the ring is for my wife. The shamrock is for my Irish heritage, and the cross my faith. And the heart in the center is because these are the things I love. :/ I know, kinda gay.


A very well though out design. That's a good thing,tats are harder to delete than a skin file.    Nothing gay about honoring the things you love.

Nice Tat ID, looks painful.



Pain only hurts if you let yourself believe it does.

Don't think I haven't thought about it.   If it weren't for (almost) all my surplus (what surplus?) income going towards daughter-type costs I'd do it in a hearbeat.  The lizard-monkey would be fun to explain to folks that asked.

Did that when I was young and stupid...wanting to fit in/be one of the 'in-crowd...

Now almost 40 years later, I wish that I'd thunk it through over a few more heartbeats... 10 tatts later I realise they weren't 10 of my better decisions.

Sadly, tatt removal is neither cheap or particularly effective.

My wife has one and she's been bugging for us to get a Tat together. Maybe
Don't do it dude. I still have an old grilfriends name on my arm. I've left it to remind me not to do that again. I was 15 for my first, the old needle and thread with india ink. I stopped at 19. There have been times when I wish I hadn't gotten so many.

That's why you get ones that mean something to you not ones that are there just so you can show you have them.

yeah a girlfriends name is never a good idea. Life changes to easily.

Although I was recently joking with mine that I could get one of her name since her name is April and I was born in April. That way I could always just add the day and year after it if it ended.

My mother's (last) husband got a Harley Davidson tattoo on his wrist (at a time when they were almost broke).  I saw part of it under a bracelet and asked if it was my mother's name (her name is Debby and I saw the 'y' in "Harley"). 

He says, "Hell no! A tattoo is forever!".

My mother, who was sitting at the table, started crying quietly to herself.

They meant something at the time! However, that's not the reason for my regret, but rather that I no longer think tattoos are cool and I'm indelibly stamped, it's as simple as that.
