Tattoo

I hardly ever notice it anymore, but someone named kev left a comment about my tattoo in the photo of Jeremy’s new computer over on Antipixel. So here’s a close-up view to satisfy his curiosity.
I’m only slightly embarrassed to admit that the pattern is from a Dover clip art book called Celtic Stencil Designs. I liked the negative space in the original–it looked like leaves and vines curling among the black triskele and circle motifs. Unfortunately, it didn’t translate well to the elastic medium of skin and I lost the leaves and vines. Fortunately, the positive is an attractive design on its own.
And for those who are wondering, yes, it hurt.
