I've been wanting to get some new ink for years but couldn't justify it financially...until now. Going with black and grey sleeves on both arms. I was a tattoo artist years ago so I'm already fairly heavily tatt'd but that was years ago and most of them need some love or to be covered up.
I don't see it as a midlife crisis as much as I see it as rising from my ashes.
e cineribus resurrexit is actually a phrase I'll have tatt'd on me somewhere and will probably be the first. I also want to incorporate a pawn chess piece with a crown on it. 
I've already informed the girlfriend that if I start shopping for corvettes to call for an intervention and take me directly to a BMW dealership.
If it wasn't for my love handles and moobies, I would be skinny. 
I was pretty skinny most of my life but the past few years battling PTSD and other depression issues, I've packed on some weight. |
Fu*k Yeah! That's not a mid-life crisis by any means, that's a mid-life party. Good for you!!!!
When I got divorced from my first wife my buddies threw me a bachelor party. I think it's important to celebrate moving on to the next phase of one's life. Sounds like you are doing exactly that. Good on ya.
Post up a some pics of the fresh ink once you get it done. I don't think I've seen a tattoo thread on here, at least not in the last few years. Maybe I'll start one in a week once mine has healed up.
