I am a fan of tattoos. I have been for about as long as I’ve been a Blackhawks fan. I remember being a little kid and being fascinated by the artwork that went into tattoos, just as I was fascinated watching the Blackhawks. If we are playing up stereotypes, tough guys get tattoos and tough guys play hockey. Now I’m not laying claim to being tough, winning the fake Lady Bing award in a weekend hockey league basically means anything but tough. But I have a deep appreciation for both.

I got my first tattoo a few months after I turned 18. After the first one, it becomes addicting and when you see a friend's new tattoo or a really nice piece, it just intensifies that desire.
