Sure to give Marisa's dad Pete acid indigestion for Christmas, I have gotten another tattoo. I added one for Tanner just after he was born at the Livermore Tattoo Parlor.
I am sure that this is ridiculed by most, but as I explained to Marisa, this is by me, for me, so they only person that needs to understand it (or like it) is me. In most cultures that have a history of tattooing, a tattoo is used to mark a transition or a special moment in a life journey. Well for me there have been no more special moments or transitions than when Marisa and I got married, or when the boys were born.
I can't say for sure that this will be the last tatoo that I get, but I am definitely beyond my rockstar "but they look so cool" frame of mind, and it is my understanding that we are not having another child, so this may be it. But of course there is still my mid-life crisis to look forward to. - Brian
