I now have
new ink.
So, several years ago I asked Clue to design me a tattoo of a knotwork dophin. Why? Well, tattoos for me have meaning. Deep meaning. I was approaching a point in my career where I was going to start "swimming with the sharks" and I wanted something to represent where I fit in that hierarchy. As I describe it today; "Dolphins are intelligent, resourceful, strong, cunning, and empathetic... and when a shark threatens them, they hunt it down and kill it."
Things happened in my career and I was no longer in those waters. As a matter of fact, I was pushed to the back waters. Well, things are changing and I am now actually swimming with the sharks. Not only am I in those waters, I am ready to take on, personally, the power of dolphin.
The photos are behind the cut for the bandwidth impaired.
