What started out as a funny dare, turned into a painful permanent reminder that I am stupid. A co-worker of mine named Mandy found a picture of a treasure troll online, posted it on her facebook page,  and begged for one of her male friends to get it. I would have never known about it had my wife not tagged me in her response, saying "I bet my husband will do it!"

 

It all went downhill from there.

I responded with "If you pay for it, I'll dot it.", thinking that since she too works in radio, there was no way in hell it would happen. I was right, sort of...

She couldn't pay for it, but figured we could find someone to do it for free. That's when I stepped in. If we were going to do this, there are only a couple of people in town I trust to stick me with a needle thousands of times in the armpit...And my first choice stepped up and helped me out.

I asked Craig Naegle at Chapter's Tattoo (located across the street from the Iris Theaters on Ash and West Yellowstone) if he could hook me up. After an eye rolling, and some child-like giggling, he agreed, brought me in a few days later, and the results are below.

A couple things I learned...

1.) Never let Mandy talk you into anything

2.) Craig Naegle has never let me down, and never will

3.) The armpit is a horrible place for a tattoo

I'd like to thank Craig for doing an AWESOME job. The picture I gave him got tossed in the trash, and the picture he came up with was 100 times better. And, while it hurt like hell, Craig has steady, soft hand that made the experience as pleasant as possible...
