What's up, man?

What's going on?

What are you working on this week?

I am working on the design for my tattoo.

Oh, right. So a little bit different, but still is going to have a physical or

resultant. I've been thinking about it for quite some time and I've wanted to have a functional

tattoo that I can use as a ruler. I already kind of used my arm and hands and

fingers as a ruler I'll be like oh this is like one digit from the tip of my pinky to like the first joint.

Yeah, I do the same thing.

So on like on my hand, the distance between my middle finger and my thumb is exactly nine inches.

So I do the same thing. Yeah, so I've been thinking about it for a while and sort of work through a few different iterations.

At one point I actually commissioned a design competition on 99 designs just to come up with some ideas but they were

just okay.

And finally sort of worked through to something where it's minimal enough that I feel comfortable having it on my arm forever but

still like has enough different measurements.

So I just actually posted a picture of it on Instagram and now now it's just picking a tattoo artist and setting a date hopefully sometime the next three months or so.
