There’s plenty going on these days, but that’s all I can think of to share at the moment.
I have no idea how long it’s been since I’ve actually been to work. I had the week between Christmas and New Year’s scheduled for vacation, but then we had the Hanukkah Blizzard of 2006 so things got started off really early for me. I guess two weeks ago today was the last time I was in the office.
Take a guess at my motivation level… 
Thanks to the Hanukkah and Kwanzaa blizzard combination, we ended up spending the holidays doing a lot of sitting around and staring at each other. We did get out to the tattoo shop to get the Mother-in-Law a new piece (of which I should really get a better picture) and for The Wife and I to get some touch up done.
Other than that, not a lot to report. We did watch some DVDs:
- Nacho Libre (B) — Jack Black, yo. Plus I love me some Lucha Libre.
- Talladega Nights (A-) — Best Will Ferrell joint ever. Period. John C. Riley is a king.
- Aeon Flux (B+) — I was a big fan of the animated shorts on MTV’s Liquid Television, but I kind of like this better. There was actually a storyline available without creative interpretation. Plus Charlize is badass.
- Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man’s Chest (B-) — Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow was weird in this one. Not nearly as good as the first one.
One quick link, while I’m at it: I like this guy’s style.
The boys at our favorite tattoo shop finally have their new web site up: ThinkTankTattoo.com
Backstory: Their old obnoxious (it resized the browser window!) site just up and disappeared a long while back. Thne they had a place-holder up saying the new site would be up in November. The web guys obviously missed that goal…
I’m just excited because Fish’s glamor shot tickles me pink!
What’d you do today, Jake?
Well, kids, I’ll tell ya…
- I cut a bunch of tile.
- I got my car back.
- I took my wife to get more skin art.
Good times.
This one is really cool:
David Allen is a tattoo apprentice. He’s also a reasonably handsome graphic designer.
…
Currently, his illustration experience has brought him into the world of tattooing. This site, allentattoo.com, is used to detail and chart the progress of his learning experience.
Not only do you get great insight into the art of tattooing, but you get fun Photoshop tips, too! It’s a very young site, but it’s off to a killer start.

It turns out I get a lot of hits for the search term “tattoo blog” (As I’m looking at it right this second, this post comes up in the number 2 spot, and tops for the plural).
I just thought I’d take a second to give props to the number one result, TattooBlog.org, which is actually a new find for me. The stuff posted there is hit or miss for my tastes, but I’m always down for more tattoo-related reading material.
