Got back into some mischief...

[PACIFICBUSA]

What Club

Ah...you have much to learn, young grasshopper.

I am the Shaver Immortal...

[PACIFICBUSA]

Indeed.

[PACIFICBUSA]

Pac-Man! What's up?!

What up, Oms!!!

[PACIFICBUSA]

Whew...that was a long one. "What club?" you may ask? Why, the Tattoo club! I only got two, and that's probably the last of it. Whoever says that you get addicted to the pain is one loco hombre, I'll tell you that. The pain wasn't too bad, but I'll pass on future servings for now. Ugh.

Now, without further adieu...I shall bring on the pics.

[PACIFICBUSA]

Continuation

[PACIFICBUSA]

And the rest, hopefully. Takes a long time for the pics to attach.

[BusaBret]

Cool! You could do an Always commercial, you got wings



From my dunce stool

Pac, good to see you post up, hows the kiddos man..

[PACIFICBUSA]

Hokay...so I guess we also need an explanation, yes? The initials in the very first pic are J.A.M., which are my son's initials. I chose to put those in the center of the cross on the shield.

The sword, shield and angel wings represent the Guardian Angel. I've told my boy's mom many times that he is a guardian angel for her family. I came to the realization that he is just as much my guardian angel as I am his.

The two sets of initials on the cross on my chest stand for my biological father and for my Dad.

My biological father, the J.R.M set of initials, passed away when I was only 15 months old. I spent nearly my entire life looking for clues about the person he was and tried early on to follow in his footsteps.

My Dad (I have NEVER referred to him as my step-dad), the D.R.M. set of initials, passed away in 2008. He was every bit a father to me as my biological father...and he taught me everything I know about being a man and being a Dad. Almost anyone can be a father...but it takes a special kind of person to be a DAD. Everything I know about being a man I learned from him...and everything I know about being a provider and a protector comes from him.

I got the cross with their initials on my chest as a way of honoring their memory. If you look in the center of the cross, you'll see that the space is blank. My mother's initials will go there when, knock on wood and a fervently offered prayer that it's a loooong time from now, it's her time to join them.

So there you have the story of the tats and the reason I got them. They are all a huge part of my life...so much, perhaps, that they ARE my life.

Pac, good to see you post up, hows the kiddos man..

El CAPITAN!!!! Please don't jinx me just yet, good sir...I have only one and would like it to be that way for now.

My boy is getting big...growin like a weed, thank you for asking. Gentle giant, if there ever was any...his heart is bigger than he is. Always the helpful soul and is not afraid to show his affection to his parents.

How about you? How have you been, Cap? How's life been treatin you?

[PACIFICBUSA]

I don't quite get the reference...haven't had cable in a looong time.

But, no harm, no foul.

[PACIFICBUSA]

Oh, and by the way, I have framed and signed prints for any interested ladies...any of the above shots. $2.00 for the bare chest shots and 0.75 cents for the smiling ones.



Hehe...just kiddin.

[GIXERHP]

How much for the butt shots?! Oh wait, I already have those

Looking great Paul, and I love your tattoo and know so much thought went in to it...great way to honor those you love and those that have made you who you are today

Now about those pics?!

[Lazerblade]

Hey Paul. Great to see you. That looks like a Knights Templar shield and also the cross. My grandfather was a KT and I have his cross and ring.

Can't go wrong having a guardian angel.

Paul

Heheh...great to see you too, Gix. I come around every so often...most times I'm just busy bustin tail. If it's not work, it's the family, my mom and brothers, the ministry or my car. Ain't enough hours in a day sometimes...

Ah well...such is life!
