I Did It! See the Space Invader Tattoo in All Its Glory
May 8, 2007
Today at 1pm it was done. My second tattoo (my first geek tattoo), a Space Invader, was inked on my right shoulder by Dave Waugh of Jinx Proof tattoos in Georgetown. I am most pleased with the results. Have a look for yourself.
As I said in my last post, it's not that I'm a huge Space Invaders fan per se, the icon just seems to well represent the three things I was going for: gaming, retro computing, and the 80s in general -- a sort of crude petroglyph found on the walls of the cave of computing history, if you will. (I know you will...)
I wonder if this will be my last tattoo...?

What up Dog. Sheesh Whiz, that's quite a Tat! Wow! The 3rd RULES hehe, really low-down and serious. I like the petroglyph analogy. Is it really perm?

Thanks. Indeed, that really sums it up for me:
"a sort of crude petroglyph found on the walls of the cave of computing history"
And yes, it's quite permanent.

Posted by: ed hardy online at July 31, 2010 5:10 AMDon't have enough money to buy some real estate? You should not worry, just because that's available to take the business loans to solve such kind of problems. Hence take a credit loan to buy all you need.
