Thanks. Dan Wysuph at Samuel O'Reilly's in Santa Cruz did the deed. My friend Adam works at that shop too in the same room, and was nice enough to let Dan and I know that we are now married in some countries due to the amount of time he spent touching my backside.
People kept asking me "WHAT IF YOU FARTED?" My answer was that there is no way to relax enough to fart if you're getting your rear end tattooed. Not possible.

For those of you that don't know... Adam Barton is one of the best tattoo artist around. You're a lucky dude to count him as a friend.

No, I got it done when I was on vacation in the Philippines back in January. I will be going back this monday and have my artist finish my lower arm. Tattoos are cheap out there and they have some talented people. I paid like $100 US + a case of beer for a half sleeve.

ahaha yeah...its something not a lot of folks get tatted of (for obvious reasons) in the US but im guessing its pretty common in all the Asian countries...hell, even googling "Buddhist Swastika tattoo" and you only see one good one...i had my tattoo artist make it as Asian as possible so people wont confuse it with the **** one...hint: its made of bamboos

I got my elbows done by him when he was still tattooing out of his 'attic' in SJ. Has he gotten, um, more 'punctual' since moving back into a real shop?

All of that to say, yes - he is very punctual and professional. 8+ years of growing up has had an effect on all of us, including him, so I can hardly hold past errors over his head given my own former track record. The guys - and gal - at O'Reilly's hold each other to a pretty high standard, and it's plainly evident in their professionalism and promptness. This is, of course, in addition to the fact that everyone there are incredible artists and tattooers.
