Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

The padlock for our front gate was forgotten in the car (which is parked on the outside of the compound) so I had to climb over our wall this morning. It's not that high (10-12 feet) but it's really rough textured concrete so my one arm is a little chewed up). Small price to pay for freedom, right?

GOTTA LOVE INJURED MANHOG (I'M TALKING ABOUT THE TATTOO, NOT ME!)

Other than that, Saira is still here for a couple days, Jay and his niece are visiting until tomorrow, and Phil gets back later today (so BME work officially starts again tomorrow, so you'll probably see updates starting up again in two or three days — there's tons of great stuff in the queue).

And of course Lane and his family are here as well… Lane's definitely the most driven and motivated person I've met in a long time regarding the future of where piercing and tattooing are going (and I meet a lot of people). I wrote it a while back on ModBlog (which will also fire up again in a few days), but I really think you're going to see some amazing things from him in the future (to say nothing of his current efforts in running studios and publishing a T&P magazine).
