Hi everyone,

Just signed up after lurking a while.  I have three tattoos (ankle, wrist, and upper back).  Have enjoyed reading your stories and expertise.  Looking forward to learning and hanging out more .

Welcome aboard - got any pics to share?

Thanks, Devious6, I've enjoyed reading your posts .

And thanks for the welcome, sighthound.  Below is my new hawk (pic taken right after it was done; three weeks healed now). It's a tribute to my Dad who died in 1990 and loved red-tailed hawks.  Kind of nice to have him "with" me permanently.

I love that hawk! We had a red-tailed hawk hanging around our farm today. We have them here often. What a wonderful way to remember your Dad.

Thanks :).  I love hawks.  There's a pair that cruises around the meadow near my house from time to time.  Always nice to see them.  I really enjoyed your post about your experience on 9/11, by the way.  Read that today.  Very special perspective.  Thank you for your service.
