Thanks @Graeme :)
I was stoked when I saw it, I don't usually get to see my tattoos from that angle, y'know?

Just had reconstructive Jaw surgery a couple of days ago to fix my underbite. happy to finally have it after four years of braces. unfortunately I'll have no money for tattoos for sometime as the surgery was quite expensive.
heres a picture of the X-ray, the titanium plates remain in my face for life

Found out just before Thanksgiving that I got my National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification! It was a challenging 2-year process for me but one of the incentives to do it in my state is a pretty nice raise, so I'm really happy about it. It was a good experience, kind of like a master's program with no professors.
Then our family went to MA and CT for a week to celebrate Thanksgiving & Hanukkah w/family. Fun times. Glad to be back where it's warm. I have some new stories for another thread...

Thanks guys!!
The whole experience was fantastic :)
Nick was great, the shop was great, the dragon is blowing my mind every time I look at it.
One thing for certain, this thigh tattoo is *way* easier on the day after than calves or knees have been. I can just stand up and walk! ;)
No throbbing at all!
It's great because I'm planning to get out and about in Chicago today, it's my first time here and I can't wait to get out and see some of it

I loved getting tattooed by Paco :)
He's so fun!!

I crossed 3 things off my bucket list last week :)
Had a great time in Chicago, learned SO MUCH at my national conference, and came home with a dragon on my thigh :)

No rest from healing this winter...got more work coming up in 2 weeks from some guest artists coming to my city. Getting hilarious with Bryan Turnbull (Gov Street Tattoo Victoria) and getting weird with Jon Gray (Mata Mata Hamilton). And some touchups on my neck piece and mini insect tattoo. My wife is pissed I will be sidelined from the hot tub at her work christmas party. I will gladly stay dry on my colouring book quest!

Tomorrow! I'm getting my back (back of the neck to back of the knees) tattooed by Chad Koeplinger...SOOOOOOO FUCKEN STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome stuff, everyone (as usual). El Monga added this to my leg today!

Picture stolen from his Instagram. I'm now realizing that I never posted a picture of the last one he did on me, because it wraps and I can't seem to get a good picture of it. I'll try to do that soon.

Here's an older awkward of matching swallow tattoos me and @Pugilist got almost three years ago:

I got mine from Bert who then tattooed at Tattoomania, she got hers from Rebecca Guinard at Pol Tattoo. Next year is our fifth wedding anniversary and we have tattoo plans for that, but you all will have to wait and see about those.
