Finger Scissors

Dan‘s little inner finger tattoo of a pair of scissors (“I just really like scissors, it’s that simple”) really healed exceptionally well I think given the tough location. It was done by Gavi Snider at Sacred Art Tattoo in Corvallis, Oregon.

    I’m totally happy with how this healed up, especially since I work counter at a tattoo/piercing shop and am changing gloves and washing my hands sooo many times throughout the day. and yeah, I get the “rock, paper, scissors” and “you runnin’ with scissors?” jokes ALOT.

    What alternate jokes would you prefer?

    Hope you don’t get stopped for having those scissors while boarding a plane, I read there is no tolerance.

    I’m full of ‘em, shoot (or cut).
