Finished my sleeve!

7

I first looked into getting a tattoo around 1978 while in the US Navy but the timing was always off. It really boiled down to finding the right design, the right artist, and of course, having the money to do it! I left the Navy in 1986 and forgot about tattoos for a while. Fast forward 20 years... Following 9/11 I returned to active duty

Heading Home

I'm heading home to Texas at the end of this month. I'll miss Guam but it's time for a change. I moved here originally for scuba diving and to use Guam as a base to explore Micronesia. Also because it was only a short flight to the Philippines. Covid threw a wrench in all of that. I've not made any trips for the last 16...

Just finished reading my blogs from the past... It's always interesting to see what you planned and where you ended up ;) Some things I did and some I didn't... Sometimes being flexible and enjoying life is what's important ;)

So I did sell my place in Texas. It was hard to part with my horses but I found good homes for all of them....

Great tattoos !!

Thanks :)  They were both done by George Tsiotsios at Medusa Tattoo in Crete.  The dragon was an original piece of art.  We spent longer on the design than I did in the chair :)  I got the tiger about a week later because every time I looked in a mirror, I just didn't feel "balanced" :))  The face of the tiger was done freehand.  George is an amazing artist!  I got both of these 2005.  I'm thinking now about what I'll get done next.  That's going to require finding another tattoo artist who I like.  I'm back in the US now and Crete is a bit far to go for a tattoo :))   I haven't ruled it out though ;)    http://www.medusatattoo.gr/  

My yearly check-in :))

I've noticed I only seem to blog about once a year :)) Maybe I should try to keep up more ;)

I came home the end of March from Afghanistan. I took my Halflingers to Colorado for a week of training, then left for farrier school the end of April. The first week of June I re-injured my back. I managed to finish 8 weeks,...
