I had this design for 10 years. It’s evolved a bit—primarily gotten simpler—but the concept has stayed the same. I figure a decade is a good interval to wait to put something permanent on your body. One week in, it’s been interesting listening to different people’s interpretation of the meaning of a circle.
Ink by the talented Barnaby at Mom’s Body Shop in San Francisco.
I’m a cyclist, designer, nerd, climber, musician, tourist, rider, gamer, coder, brother, son, and friend.
I flick, ffffind, tweet, travel, dance, link, and vox. From here you can view my resume or portfolio, send me an email, subscribe to my blog’s feed, add me to your TypePad people list, or guess where I am now.
I admire Alfonso Cuarón, Lynn Hill, Banksy, John Roebling, Neal Stephenson, Jeff Buckley, Charles and Ray Eames, Michael Chabon, Hunter S. Thompson, Steve Jobs, Rick Rubin, Frank Lloyd Wright, Larry Wall, William Gorgas, Mike Skinner, Ridley Scott, Linus Torvalds, and Miles Davis.
I read Amanda, Anil, The Atlantic, AutoblogGreen, BaGEL Radio, btrott, bradfitz, Dabysan, David, The Economist, Electoral Vote, FFFFOUND, Hot Rod, Jay, Khoi Vinh, KT, markpasc, Michael, Monoscope, nerdgirl, Political Wire, Steve, Tatsuhiko, The Times, TUAW, Typographica, Xis, and Winnie.
When I was young I was a camp counselor, made videogames and painted things, played music, and lived in seven states and two countries. I’ve never been to Burning Man, but plan to. If I had to choose, I’d rather climb Mount Everest. When I grow up I want to be a firefighter, a cargo pilot, a sculptor, an archeologist, an architect, a CEO, a doctor and a lawyer. I was a runway model once. I eat local and organic, recycle and turn the lights off when I leave. I cannot speak Boontling and do not have my own Wikipedia article.

Ouch! OMG, is that a trickle of blood? *faints*
Pantone 805 also works in the permanence stakes:

Also? Very difficult to explain to my mother.
I love images whose meaning is seemingly straightforward but very specific and obvious to a small set of people.
