Another item crossed off my "bucket list"

I've wanted to get a tattoo for years, but have always been too chicken and too poor, plus could never find a design that I would want to live with for the rest of my life. Well, this year I decided I would seriously pursue the idea, and find out more about it. After many hours spent browsing the internet looking at different tattoos, and thinking about all the things I love the most, I decided that I wanted the Batman logo. But not just a big old black bat, something different and unique and intriguing, which is how I think of Batman and the whole vigilante/dual personality thing he has going on. A couple of different people drew up tattoos based on the ideas that I put together and this is the design I chose. It was drawn by Eric, the guy who did the work.

I would have to say that the experience was not painful at all. Uncomfortable would be the best way to describe it. Unless you really like the sensation of getting shot with rubber bands repeatedly until your skin goes numb. I'm just happy to have broadened my horizons with the experience and to have come away with something that I really, really love!

The expression on my face in this one totally reminds me of BurgerMeister MeisterBurger from the old Christmas special Santa Claus is Coming To Town. Eric hit a nerve or something at that moment in time.
