Update 10/20/2008: This page really needs updated. I’ll get around to pulling in my Tattoo photo set from Flickr.

My Debian Neck tattoo

I don’t really have a lot of body modification done, I have more than some people less than others. My ear was pierced for the first time in 1986. I was the only other guy in my school, besides the Native American dude to have his ear pierced. In 1990 I received my first tattoo, then several more over the next few years, it helps to have friends in the business. I also pierced my other ear around this time. In 1993 I had my tongue pierced, I had my eyebrow pierced later in the same year but I took it out in 1994. I took a friend Georg with me to get his tongue done in 1993, and now he owns a piercing studio and travels all over the world piercing and doing other body modification. His shop is High Priestess Piercing in Eugene, Oregon. Most of my tattoo work was done by the tattoo artist Ugly Bill. My Debian logo was done by Carlos in Lawrence, Kansas. I finally had the dragon on my arm finished by Earl at Sacred Skin and Hair in Des Moines, IA. I’ll get some pictures up soon.

I started stretching my piercings a few years ago, nothing aggressive just new jewelry every few months or so. Now my ears are stretched to 1/2″, and my tongue is a 4g. I plan to keep getting tattooed and maybe a few more piercings. These are the best photos I have right now. I’ll try and get something better soon. I mean my wife is photographer even, sheesh.
