Yes, I have a
Tattoo....
When I was
about 13 years old, I saw an old tattoo advertisement hanging on a
wall
in the Calico Ghost Town. I got interested and outright asked my Mother
if I could get one. Her reply was that if I REALLY wanted one....  That
answer (and the way she said it) made me realize that getting a tattoo
should be for a good reason. It needed to be an actual work of ART.
Over the years
I kept the interest and on occasion looked in on Tattoo Parlours
looking for the right image, and an actual artist. Just before my 25th
birthday I was working for Bechtel in Norwalk California where there
was a Parlour. I found on his wall a very interesting ... well,
sort of Miniture Dragon, but not like one I had ever seen before. After
watching the artist work for awhile, I decided. After talking to my
Wife about it, I did get that Dragon as my Birthday Present.
"Berfert" is
located on my Right Inside Forearm. He is about 8 inches Tall and about
an inch and a half wide at the wings (which are folded.) He is mostly
Green, with Grey, Purple and Red highlights. The Purple and Red has
faded a bit over the years but now 20 years old he is still amazingly
quite clear. (Although the photo on the right doesnt do it justice at
all.)
His name came from the MYTH series of books by Robert Asprin. He has
provided me with a lot of joy and I consider him to be one of my most
prized possessions. He is the one (and most times only) thing I like
about my body.
