Monkey New Year
Rog posted in Off-Topic
Happy New Year folks. For those that are unaware, today is the first day of the year for the Chinese calendar and it's the Year of the Monkey. I was born in '68 (yep, I'm that old) and that makes me a monkey of sorts, so I'm going to claim this as my year (I'll share a little bit tho *grin*).
And to commemorate this year and how it marks a time of new hope for me, when I have the cash to do so, I'm going to get a tattoo with the "Year of the Monkey" Chinese characters (see inline picture).

in commemoration, I wore monkey socks today.
actually, it was purely by accident, but they're really cute anyway.

The year of the Monkey is so much cooler sounding than the year of the Pig.
One of these days I should look into finding out what all of these years really mean.
...Oh the duality of it all.
Just slightly off to the left and on to tattoos. Like myself I'm sure there are oodles of folks out there who'd like to have a tattoo or five but never get around to doing it. What is it that I'm lacking versus those who just do it? I mean what is the defining thought that happens that makes you just get up and go?
I'd love to have the Peace Keeper symbol (FarScape) tattooed on the side of my right shoulder. Eventually it'll happen. I think... =)

For the get-up-and-go on tattoos, I think it's a question of time, money and desire. Well and for those adverse to the potential pain involved a bit of guts too I suppose.
Right now, the only thing stopping me is a lack of funds, otherwise I'd get pierced and tattoo'd to go along with my branding.
