Now, the first of three tattoos is finally finished. It’s the packshot of Monkey Island II on the right calf (with a little variation, of course).

But why Monkey Island?
It’s not only because I’m mostly a nerd, but also because Monkey Island builds a bridge to what I’m doing today. I was a teenager when I discovered Monkey Island and got excited right from the start. Simply put, Monkey Island got me addicted to the IT and that’s why I want to keep it in memory this way.

… and because I’m a mighty pirate! Yaaarghw!

Since my tattoo artiste spends her summertime in San Francisco, CA we’ll get back to work in October or November with the packshot of Monkey Island 1 on the left calf. Meaning, it’ll be finished around spring next year.
