Hey Everyone! I really appreciate the compliments on my tattoo! The authors are ones that really inspired me to make something better of myself a few years ago. If I would have put all the authors that inspired me, the stack would have went all the way up my back! LOL!

pistol pete, I wanted to put the bible on there, because it did inspire me to become a better person as well. But I just didn’t want to put a work of fiction in with books that inspire reality (not trying to be an A-hole, just honest).

Ron May, actually there are two trees on either side of the little boy. One is a painting infused into the tree by my tattoo artist, Jackie Rabbit, and the other tree has a DNA strand as the trunk. This is a spin off of a painting by David Stoupakis, and the very talented, Jackie Rabbit, of Star City Tattoos and Piercings on Brambleton here in Roanoke put this amazing piece of art on my arm. Finding a tattoo artist that is in it because they truly love what they do and want to do a great job because they love art and the challenge, is very hard to find. I will always be most thankful to Jackie for her talent and hard work.

Last I looked, BM, drugs haven’t been legalized in Virginia and this home invasion shooting happened in Virginia. Right? The home appears to be basically a large trailer so we’re not talking about a mansion loaded with goodies. Maybe they were after guns?

When anyone takes a second to think of the Presidents we have had assassinated, I do not think it is a “stretch” to think a “Presidents Day Gun Sale” is gauche.

I LOVE the tattoo Justin! It is artistic and it is “you”, which is very important. No one should get a tattoo that does not mean something to them.

I love mine as much now as when I got it years ago. I intend to get another. And yes, I will still love it when it is touching my knees, if anyone needs to know.

“Another Teabagger hits the unemployment line.”

Another Liberal labeling and stereotyping. To Kristen, anyone who is a racist in the Aryan nation is also in the Tea Party.

Is your last name McCarthy?
