Working on an idea for a new tattoo. A little back story though so it makes sense:

In HS, everyone knew me as Turtle (this was way before entourage). I got the nickname during my second week of HS from a bunch of Seniors I was hanging out with. I was a late bloomer, and started HS being only 4'8" tall. So this group of Seniors that I had met in Choir and Art class kinda adopted me. Then one day, one of the girls said that my face kinda reminded her of a turtle. So they started calling me Turtle and it stuck. When I graduated, I had friends that asked me, "Turtle, what's your real name anyways?". It stuck for a few years after HS and slowly faded away.

So several years ago my wife drew this little comic of me and a good friend of mine as Turtle Boy and Captain Hoser.

I've thought of doing some kind of turtle for awhile now, but now I am thinking of taking the Turtle Boy character she drew and using it for my next tattoo. Once I find the old drawing I will post it on here so people can give me some feedback about where to put it. I'm currently thinking of putting it on my right forearm, close to the elbow.
