Me (Erik)

“Gambrinous with griffonage?” Gambrinous is an obscure word meaning “being full of beer.” Illegible handwriting is known as “griffonage.” My handwriting has always been horrible, and much more so when I am drunk. Neither of which has anything to do with why I blog. Actually, the alcohol might have something to do with that…. I do this because I thought I would share the wanderings on which my mind takes me. And because I feel like torturing others.

With the events of the last couple days, I needed to let off some “steam”. For me, that sometimes means getting a little ink done.

I added another koi to my sleeve-in-progress.

I gave him a handlebar mustache because he needed it.

We will get to the color at some point in the future. I’m just glad to have gotten poked. Thank you Queen Bee. Love you!

Oh—and no, it didn’t hurt that much under the arm. But pain is relative.

Until next time…
Erik

    Damn that looks nice.

    I seriously need to send you a pic of my tat to see what you would do with it. It will give me a reason to come visit you guys.

    Looks like letting off some steam was well worth it. :-)

    @all:
    Thank you! As always, the fun parts in the healing….

    @Dead Robot:
    I always liked that “sketchy” look. We’re probably going to re-outline my existing ink to come close to that style. Nothing like changing your mind part way through…

    @mark:
    Send ‘em to me. I’ll see what we can come up with. And as if you need a reason to come visit ;)

    @Urspo:
    I’ve still got lots of nekkid skin for that. Unless, of course, I lose all those locations and only have that arm left…

    @Alexander:
    If that’s all it takes to make your day… ;)

    @kyle:
    Thank you! It’s sometimes handy to have one’s own tattoo shop… ;)
