So this weekend was marked as Twitter Tattoo Weekend–the first of many I’m sure–by Sara McClung over at her blog. And it’s been a total blast. All you had to do to participate (and you still can!), was change your Twitter profile pic to that of a tattoo you have, or of something you’d love to get. Easy-peasy. Then, just let everyone know by using the #twittertattoo hashtag…and that’s it.

It’s been a lot of fun checking all of the #twittertattoo mentions and seeing what people are putting up, how people are comparing each other’s tats, and how certain dares and promises to get more are suddenly popping up.

I had a hard time taking pics by myself to get my whole Scorpius Constellation tattoo in a picture, but was able to get almost half of it. The below pic is what I used for my Twitter profile, and shows 7 of the 16 nautical stars that I have from neck to lower back. Hopefully I can try and get the whole thing in a shot soon–but then again I’ve been saying that for a year. :P

Oh, and before I forget…do go over and check out Sara’s blog and watch the Tattoo Nation video. Near the end there is a segment with yours truly–and she gets me good. Well, she at least thinks she does. Little does she know I already have a team of mischievous little demons working in the shadows on a fun little vlog reply. Mwahah-ha-ha-ahh.

    I just read your short story! Sara sent me the link. It was really fantastic! So creative, and I loved the voice.

    You wouldn’t happen to be a William Gibson fan, would you? It reminded me a little bit of Neuromancer.

      Thanks A… and yes, I’m a huge William Gibson fan. A highlight of mine was meeting and chatting with him on my birthday one year–he signed “Happy Birthday Derek” in one his books for me. =)
