ironmanjt Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 44 year old guy here, living just outside Washington DC in Virginia. It all started about 15 years ago when I convinced myself that "doing an Ironman triathlon is a good enough 'meaning' to commemorate forever" and the first tiny tattoo was born. That progressed a few years ago to a polynesian half sleeve to commemorate where I was born, and that's moved on to a full colour sleeve and a decent sized calf piece (which I did 10 days ago and am having a ridiculously hard time healing - actually found this site searching for hints on healing calves and found lots of great advice). I do tons of international travel as well as play hockey for fun. Looking forward to hearing from others. marley mission and Pete tattoo freak 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironmanjt Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Thanks for all the welcomes - 28 hours later on the sleeve very glad to finally have it done. Just wish it would hurry up and finally be healed! Now, that frustrating calf... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironmanjt Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Is she still up in Chicago? Nope, she moved to Pittsburgh about 18 months ago I believe. We've been working on the sleeve since January, and I know she'd already been there for 6+ months at that point. SStu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
