If you follow me on twitter then you’ll already know that I’ve spent the last two months getting a tattoo. Two months and a total of ten hours work. I didn’t know it would take quite so long when I first walked into the tattoo parlour. I was eager. I’d spent a long time thinking about what kind of tattoo I wanted and where (black ink, dot-work, right forearm) and had done my research to find an artist in London who worked in the style I wanted (Rod Medina of King’s Cross Tattoo Parlour - I recommend him 100%). It’s a sizeable tattoo, yet not huge. But detailed dot-work like this takes time.
I love it.
The reason for the blog post is I’ve been asked to provide photos. The tattoo has now healed so I snapped a few before leaving for work this morning. Here they are.
Movember (and, of course, November) has come to an end. I didn’t take part myself, already having a moustache and other facial hair, but I did take photos of my colleagues’ efforts. I thought I’d share them here. Some pretty impressive soup strainers as you can see.
The whole set can be found on my Flickr page. All images © Microsoft.
My latest week in pictures gallery is up over at MSN UK. A good selection if I do say so myself.
[EDIT 02/09/2010: The gallery has now expired, but you can see recent weeks here. ]
