I got it done at TO THE GRAVE TATTOO SHOP - 26 South Tejon Street - between Pikes Peak Avenue and Kiowa (where the original Zerbe jewelers used to be located). The artist name is Drake, and he was the one that did my tattoo. It was Last Saturday - September 19, 2009 - at 3:00pm, and it took two hours to get done.

It is a tattoo of a journalism pirate flag:

  • it is a newspaper in the background
  • for the crossbones, it is a pen and a pencil
  • It has the skull

rolling stone’s matt taibbi once again tells it to us straight…

“All that’s left of health care reform is a collection of piece-of-shit, weakling proposals that are preposterously expensive and contain almost nothing meaningful — and that set of proposals, meanwhile, is being negotiated down even further by the endlessly negating Group of Six. It is a fight to the finish now between Really Bad and Even Worse. And it’s virtually guaranteed to sour the public on reform efforts for years to come.”

if you haven’t already, it’s a good read.
