Martha Washington Goes To War... ALL OVER MY LEG
9:39 AMSo, there was a good bit of confusion about my Twitter update yesterday that I was getting Martha Washington tattooed on my right shin.
Some people thought I meant "Martha Washington" as in "Wife of the first president of our United States":

Of course, this would look silly on my shin.
In fact, I meant THIS Martha Washington, from Give Me Liberty:

There now, not nearly as silly. Right?
Anyway, here's some pics, there'll be better, non-cellphone versions coming once we finish coloring the guns and laying in the background.



So now I have tributes to Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira), Dave Sim (Cerebus), and both Dave Gibbons and Frank Miller (Give Me Liberty) on me, with a Masamune Shirow tribute coming at the end of the month.
I am a walking copy of Wizard Magazine :)

That other Martha Washington was a hip, hip lady- I think you should consider getting a piece in her honor, as well.
Yeah that makes a little more sense. I was one of those poor confused people reading about Martha Washington and thinking "OK Joe, WTF?!"
This was made worse when I saw the picture you posted thru twitter (outlined in blacked, no color yet).
Glad to have that cleared up. Looks good man! Was that another Todo piece?
NERD.
Yr leg looks pretty all shaved.
Joe, I can't say that this makes any more sense than it being the first first lady. I mean, at least she was real, and a snazzy dresser, too.
Now imgine if you decided to join the military and had to get them all connected. :D
Yo Joe! Your guy lays ink down beautifully. Looking forward to you Shirow piece. Is it gonna be a Ghost in the Shell image or something like Briareos from Appleseed?
