This is a ghost:
When I was 16 or 17, I read an article in Thrasher Magazine. I think it was Thrasher. It was an issue devoted to tattooing.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was Thrasher. I remember skateboarders.
There was an article about doing tattoos yourself without a tattoo gun. (Or any talent.) It said to take a needle and wrap thread up to the tip, leaving a little bit of the needle exposed. It said to take India ink and dip the needle in, and let the thread soak some of it up. It said poke sort of deep into the skin. It said that that was it.
One evening I decided I would just go ahead and do all the things that the magazine said. The ghost above is the result.
I will never cover it. I have a few very nice, professionally done tattoos. This is still my favorite.

Thanks for sharing Matthew.
If I remember correctly, there was Scotch involved the night of this tattoo, was there not?
Thanks for reading.
Erin, possibly. I don't remember that part of it, though. But it certainly is a possibility.
I had fun at the reading, thanks for hosting, Matthew.
I like your cat tattoo.
Thanks, Evelyn. Glad you could make it out.
How is that restaurant? I've wanted to go out there some time, but haven't had a chance yet?
I read somewhere in a review that the cook was a wrestler and his wrestling name was Gorgeous George. I think he was there and that I met him. Two women next to us asked him what was for dessert and he said "me."
I recommend the falafel and Greek salad.
