Inky.

Several folks asked about the new tattoo, so here’s a photo. I’ll probably try and get a better one later in the week, but here’s what I could pull together using a webcam and online editing tools:

It’s a wren with a needle through its ankle, which is a reference to how Lleu Llaw Gyffes gets his name in Math Son of Mathonwy:

“And thereupon, lo, a wren alighting on board the ship. The boy aimed at it, and hit it between the sinew of its leg and the bone. She laughed. ‘Faith, ‘ said she, ‘with a deft hand has the fair one hit it.’ ‘Aye,’ he replied, ‘God’s curse on thee! He has now got a name, and good enough is his name. Lleu Llaw Gyffes is he from now on.’”

The tattoo design is an original drawing by Katy at Iron Tiger, who is absolutely magnificent. If you are ever in Columbia, MO and need some work done, I cannot recommend her highly enough.
