Sorry, I've been getting well behind with posts, I'll make a concerted effort to catch up with reader submissions asap. However, the oldest unposted submission is one of the best, sent in by Dan of his fiance Amorrina's day of the dead owl tattoo done Ace at Chill Mode in San Jose, Ca.

Still here, still planning

I have been really busy lately. Sorry for the lack of posts. I went to a baseball game a couple months ago with the family and snapped these pics of one of the pitchers warming up. (Portland SeaDogs, a Red Sox minor league team) I have a crappy camera at present so excuse the lack of quality.

He has the word FORGIVEN on his forearm.

Being a Christian myself I did really enjoy spotting this one.

I am still planning my Joan of Arc tat. Just a lack of funds and time has made actual aquisition difficult. I also need to decide where on my body I want it to go. The husband and I are currently in negotiations about that. VBG
