Taurus The Bull

My star sign, and even though I don't believe in horoscopes one eensy-weensy bit, the sign I most identify with.

Stubbornness, patience, practicality, creativity. The Bull, full of ... bull.

I got this tattoo done about five months ago, so it's nice and settled now, part of the landscape of the forest on my arms.

Instead of showing a plain old picture of my tattoo as it is, here's a picture of the image left behind on the bandage I wore while the tatt healed.


Geez, us crime writer types, always making unnecessary references to blood.

There's such a thing as an unnecessary reference to blood?

Geez, you could sell that thing as modern art, or at least make a few bucks on ebay.

A friend of mine just got a vasectomy today. That's the first thing that jumped into my mind when I saw that bandage...

(shudders)

Absolutely beautiful.

I'm not telling you what I thought it was a picture of at first.

Us crime writers...sick minds!

The reactions here have covered most of the expected range, but has anyone asked me if it hurt?

There's a great opportunity here for teary-eyed, slow-zoom-Oprah-style, make-the-women-cry responses.

At least from me anyway.

What, you're looking for sympathy? From this crowd?

Sympathy? No, me big male. Just looking for a cheap laugh.
