Mike's tattoo: The big reveal!

I think I've kept you all in suspense long enough!

It's now been a week since Mike got his tattoo (see the full story here), which was long enough for it to fully heal.

So, without further ado, here it is!

Ta da!!!


I love it! I think he and Sarah Jane (our tattoo artist) did a great job with the design, and I love that it has meaning: (1) his research is on lyophilization (aka freeze-drying pharmaceutics), so he basically studies ice crystallization for a living, and (2) he sold his car and biked throughout the entire winter - the 5th (or 3rd, depending on which website I look at) snowiest winter on record!

For those of you who want a gruesome, in-progress photo of his tattoo, here it is. (For everyone else, I warn you to look away now!)

(Seriously! Look away if you don't want to see blood!)

(Ewww!!!)

But I love seeing how happy Mike is with the finished product. :)


The next time you see him in person, you may want to check out his tattoo's epic awesomeness yourself.
