I hate morons who don’t have a clue. How can there be any misunderstanding or misreading as you say, when I personally designed it from the word go to contain and represent everything quoted? As for wannabe (correct english) fandom? There is no wannabe to it. I am a very big fan and have been from the start. I kinda doubt many folks hate something and then get it inked on them for life. Gaiman’s work, Sandman and Death in particular, have been a large influence on me so I am in complete understanding of the work in question. How you can even begin to conceive that I’m not based on this tatt design is dicey at best. As for wannabe that would be anyone who uses the term “graphic novel” for bound collections of what were originally published as single issue comics. A Graphic Novel is conceived, created, and published as a single published work. The bastardization of the term is a very “wannabe” thing indeed. I don’t mind if someone dislikes the tatt and I don’t mind well reasoned criticism but nebulous comments like this that have no basis in fact and are generally the work of retarded trolls. Now please Mr./Ms. troll tell us how I don’t understand and have misread a fairly straight forward albeit artfully told comic book?

“It’s all about the yin and yang of life and death, light and dark and how they balance and define each other. The Gaelic on the base of the cross is roughly translated as “My heart is within you”. All comments are welcome and appreciated.” REALLY lol if you say so

Princess – Thank you. Yes it does hurt sort of but it depends alot on where it is and how high your pain threshold is. I tend to have a high tolerance to pain. To me it was more of an annoying stinging sensation but after 5 or 10 minutes you mostly get used to it.

Lea – Thank you. I had it done by Sarah Peacock in Wilmington, NC but the original art is by comic book artist Richard Case from my idea.

Jemma – Thanks. Sorry about your lil bro but I’m glad they didn’t tatt you at age 2! Although you may have been the baddest toddler on the block.
