Calling it quits

Well after years where I'm almost never posting anything, I think it's obvious that I don't have the time or will to invest energy in this thing anymore.

Anyone who wants to take control, email me at jaff -at- jraff -dot- net from the address you use to log in to tumblr, and let me know! I'll invite you in.

Thanks!

This is my 3rd tattoo and so far my absolute favorite. 

Brand New has been one of my favorite bands since i was 13 years old so eventually i wanted to get a tattoo dedicated to them but also have more of a significant meaning to it.

I got the lyrics ‘They say you need to pray if you want to go to heaven but they don’t tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to hell’ within the tentacles because for me it’s a reminder that I got through a lot of things on my own, emotionally. Being raised catholic you’re always taught to pray but going thru the things i did was kinda like hell on earth, so its my way of saying i was strong and got thru it all even though i didn’t have the guidance or words of wisdom from anyone else.

Well, this is probably the strangest thing I’ve watched in a few days.

This is the 3rd Pokemon tattoo I’ve done. I’ve gotta say, they are pretty fun! I like coming up with different ways to do them so they aren’t just a picture of a Pokemon. This is the 2nd one on our apprentice Tyler. He also has a Garados, which I will eventually get a picture of. Thank you for looking and enjoy!

Dolphin rape—Male dolphins are known to gang rape other dolphins, male and female, and they are not real picky about what species they mate with. There is a news story every year or so about dolphins trying to rape swimmers.
