Thomas Brodahl

tattoo

Neat-o! I stumbled upon Thomas Brodahl's Tattoo a Day project while perusing some possible tattoo ideas. I've been wanting one for a long time and I THINK I may have figured out the design I like....I'll keep you posted if I actually DO IT (ahhhhh I dunno, I have a low pain tolerance!) Anyways, here's what he has to say about his tattoo sketches:

"Every day I'm gonna draw/write a saying or lyric or phrase on my arm. Document it here. They will be like temporary tattoos. Hopefully the sayings will stick in my mind if I look at them all day. Maybe the meaning of the words will also sink into my body, along with the ink."

What a cool idea, here are two of my favorites. Check out his flickr page here to see the rest of his "tattoos"

New Beginnings


Hi friends, sorry for the (huge) lack of posts lately! I have been super busy finishing up my semester at school and student teaching full time...but congratulations are in order for me because I'm officially on holidays!! YAHOO! In other exciting news, I'm moving to Macau, China for my very last semester of school ever. I will be doing a six month placement teaching at a local school over in the land of delicious pork buns and other tasty treats. (I love food) I leave at the end of this month and I have never been more nervous.....it will be a time of many "firsts" and I am anxious to see what is to come. I will continue posting while I'm over there so keep checking back for more updates! AND check back VERY soon for one last contest before I head off in celebration of reaching 100 followers! Thanks to everyone for visiting my little space here at this old dress, you're nice.
