newest member of the family...


...so to speak :)

For our four year anniversary, Jess got me some new ink. I love her so much! Went to Capital City Tattoo, which I highly reccomend to anyone in the Madison area, or anyone passing through with an itch to go under the gun. Very clean, very friendly, and decor that was second to none - they have old theatre seats in the waiting area, and a mirror in back that would make Narcissus jealous beyond belief. Not too complicated, but I might do some work around it later on. Oh yeah, it's on the left inner forearm, since it's kind of tough to tell from the pic.

The image - in all of my math/science geekiness - is the "golden rectangle", a way of illustrating the golden ratio, famous since Ancient Greece for it's beauty, and for how often it shows up in nature. The rectangles can be broken down to infinity, and the inscribed spiral represents patterns seen in things such as a nautilus shell.

But enough history. Read the wiki link in the last paragraph if you want more, I just think it looks great. Thank you Jess!
