There are two things for which I am extremely grateful that they did not occur during my drinking days. One, that nobody ever brought a camera along to take pictures. Two, that nobody ever said "Let's go get tattoos."
I have two tatts, (one on each arm and both above my short sleeve line) both have a meaning to me, especially the one in honor of my late wife. They are placed where they are because I worked in Engineering for a number of years and dealt regularly with our major municipal clients. The required attire was dress pants, shirt and tie.
Back in those years I also sat in as an expert on public meetings, attended high level political functions and rode my Harley. Impressions mattered in what I did and some of the politicians were pretty uptight and snooty people that were sometimes extremely judgmental. Exposed ink would not fly with them. It's funny looking back, all my friends that I hung out with were bikers yet Monday through Friday I was the yuppie. It felt like leading a double life. LOL!
I'll try and get a photo now that it's mostly set in.
Shading and color will come later this year (after swimming season)
