So…this was a shock. The tattoo I did is on the left. I was really pissed at first but now that I’ve had some time to think about it and get used to the fact that nothing is sacred to people anymore, especially with the internet, I’m at peace with it.

Thanks Bob Baxter for announcing Vynyn’s portland trip coming up in July 18-23, 2011.
