I'm new to the forum as well, and came here for the "Bad Tattoo" thread as well. Guess it's time I introduce myself
I'm Rocky Oliver, aka LotusGeek. I am a "geek"/executive by day (VP at a company called Teamstudio), and still into motorcycles, loud music, tattoos, etc. when I'm not working. I have five kids and a kewl wife of 23 years. I'm 43, almost 44 (in June), so I would guess I'm one of the "old farts" here. Got a 97 Honda Shadow Spirit 1100, currently no firearms though (dammit!). Oh, we're also animal lovers - we have 5 dogs, 3 cats, a hamster, water dragon lizard, turtle, and a horse. Incidentally, we're into rescue animals as well - all of the dogs and cats are rescue critters. I'm also a movie buff - we have about 600 DVDs, and counting
I have one tattoo now (in my avatar), and I have already put down the deposit for my next one with Jamie McNish (he did my first one as well). I have already planned my next two pieces after the second one is done, and for those I want to get some different artists to do them for variety - and I'll probably come visit All Or Nothing when I'm ready for them.
I have a blog at
lotusgeek.com, where I talk about work stuff, family, and more.
Thanks for making this forum available, and I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed the Bad Tattoo thread - pretty amazing!
Later!
Rock, aka LotusGeek
