Another month, another adventure

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo for a long, long time. For a while, I liked the concept but couldn't think of a design I would want on my body for life. Then, about 4 or 5 years ago, it hit me - a Polish eagle. A beautiful design that had meaning for me; something I would not look at in a few, or ten, or twenty years and wonder, What was I thinking?! ? I kept mulling it over and came to the realization that this was what I truly wanted.


I finally quit thinking and did it a couple of weeks ago. That's not Photoshop magic in the picture - that is my incredibly wonderful tattoo. Crusty Bill located a drawing and worked on it for me so that it was something the tattoo artist could use. I went to Cut Throat Tattoo in Milwaukee (great place) and the artist did a fantastic job. Its gorgeous, and I love having this fierce-looking symbol of my ancestry a permanent part of me.
