Great update. I love this picture of Gavin on the dragon and him at the computer. Those are some nice tattoos Lee got but I can't make out what the designs are above the dragons. So how often will Lee have to get his tattoos touched up? That much such, what does his skin just absorb the black ink?

Dragon-rider and hacker Gavin are two of my favorites. He is such a camera hog. If he sees it he immediately starts to pose. I actually had to time those right because if he saw the camera he would stop what he was doing and start to come to me.

Above the dragon silhouettes are "wash work" a.k.a. faded dragon heads of the two dragon types. He has only gone through the first round of getting the tattoos (all in one day - 6-8 hours if I remember right). We haven't had the money since he got back from Iraq to get them touched up. He got them in the middle of his two week leave (they had one week to heal before he got on the plane to go back for the remaining 6 months).

I actually need to take the final healed pictures. He has a lot of scar tissue where the guy dug in trying to get his skin to take the ink. My brother talked with one tattooist about what happened and he has speculated the guy used the wrong type ink on Lee's back.

*whew* Sorry for being long winded there.

Thanks! I don't even know where he got the idea for him to ride his toy dragon. One day he just hopped on it like you would a horse. After that I was always trying to keep an eye out for him doing it again when I could get to the camera without him seeing me. I finally caught him a few weeks after the first time.

I'll have to figure out how to do a voice post (if basic accounts can) at some point so everyone can hear Gavin babble.
