ARTICLE SHARING: Hunger Games-inspired tattoos

The Daily Beast has a photo gallery of tattoos inspired by the Hunger Games, and stories of the people wearing the ink.

Did I ever mention that I got a tattoo last year? Mine is the one seen to the left. It's an "ouroboros", a serpent dragon, representing the cyclical nature of life. It's about 4-5 inches from top to bottom, and located on my back hip. It was created by the fabulous Stevie Bananas at the Howl Gallery/Tattoo in town. If you're ever in south Florida, check them out! They aren't just a tattoo parlor, but are also an art gallery and are a driving force behind the art and music community and bringing people to our downtown district.

About the Banner

The truck in the banner was an actual truck that we were driving behind one day, and is not an anomaly in this area. The truck's image was altered to say "FERD", and the license plate was changed, but otherwise it's the real thing! Sometimes you may find the inclusion of a rebel flag in the truck bed in addition to the US flag, or perhaps a cage for hunting dogs or captured hogs (or the occasional dead hog), but this is South Florida-- proud redneck country! Someone get me the hell out of here!
