Far from done and difficult to photograph with my cell.
So the right arm tattoo sleeve is well underway. Definitely not finished, but it’ll need to heal a few days before finishing it up. I know I said no more Zelda tattoos, but uh … yeah, it’s pretty much a Zelda collage sleeve. What can I say? I’m obsessed.
Next stop, left sleeve (sorry, Mama!). I’m thinking a more eclectic collage of geeky, hippie, greenie … things. Not rushing it, though. Just brainstorming.
Hylian crest on right forearm.
So now the initial outline is complete. There is still plenty to do, but I may take a week or two off to determine what exactly to do with it next.
And yes, I am flexing 
I'm slightly concerned about the large space around my nipular area, but I'm confident I'll come up with something to make it less vacant.
Phase IV commences tonight.

Today the door to my military future opened. I’ve stared at that door long and hard over the last several months, but what exactly was behind that door remained a mystery. A small handful of possibilities existed, but only time and a panel of two Colonels, one Major, one Sergeant Major and one Master Sergeant, in addition to my orthopedic PA could say with any surety what would appear once that door was opened.
After presenting my case to the aforementioned panel, I requested, and was granted a job reclassification guarantee. The only thing now is to wait for the right paperwork to be signed and to meet with retention to determine what job I want.
My goal is to finally trade the tough-guy lifestyle for a less physically-strenuous smrat-guy future. I have proven to be particularly adept at learning foreign languages, and I would love to take advantage of attendance at the Defense Language Institute. Two jobs include a year-long tour at DLI as part of their standard training package:
The jobs are fairly similar, with one simply having a bit more of a human touch to it, the other more of a machine touch.
More pontification coming as the gears of my mind continue cranking away. For the time being, a tremendous weight has been lifted from my shoulders, and I am at last out from under the Big Toe of the Infantry.
Your thoughts?
Obsess much?
