This post is sort of a follow-up to my hair shearing entry.  My hair is now short.  Really short.  But I didn’t do it myself.  I went back to SuperCuts and told them to cut it short.  Really short.  And they did.

 At home, I tested the length using my own trimmer, to see how I might maintain it now that it is soup-a-short (how would you spell it?), and I have some idea, though it is tricky long in some places and shorter in others.  (And there’s the Tintin twist in front…)  We’ll see.  And there’s the back, which my dear, beloved wife is going to have to do.

Now that this is done, and it was stupefyingly anticlimactic, I might add, I’m looking for another something to motivate me.  I have a goal in mind, and I would like some sort of reward for when I reach that goal.

I think I’m going to get a tattoo.

The question is, what?  And where, of course.  (And when, the goal ain’t easy.)  I’d like something meaningful, but simple.  My aesthetic is not fancy, but I do appreciate craftmanship.  I’m looking for a Mission style tattoo, I guess.  I need to think on this, but I am taking suggestions.

As to where, well, what’s the point of getting tatted if nobody sees it?  I’m thinking about the hands, wrist, or forearm… it’ll depend on the design, no?  I’m not going to go all Mike Tyson or anything, don’t worry.

And then, of course, there’s the selection of shops in town.  I guess, when I get to my goal, I’ll have to do some research.

What do you think?
