Wearing his Faith on his Sleeve
Well, it finally happened, Matt got a tattoo. I knew it was going to happen sooner or later and actually we've been working together on the design for several months. Since it's something permanent on his body, I wanted to make sure it was going to be exactly right.
I think it's kind of cool that he is doing his own original artwork, and that it is a symbol of his faith and not a skull or a dragon or any of the other things he might have chosen. I was a little mad that the tattoo guy changed up the design so much, but I think it still looks pretty darn good. He is going back in a few weeks to get the shading done and get the color added to it. We decided that the ring around the cross is going to be in shades of blue with white highlights, and the shading around the edge of the cross and the scroll is going to be in shades of grey, so it will look like granite. It's ironic that his name is Matthew and Matthew 5:3-11 is his favorite bible verse. I think it's the "Blessed are the...." series.
All in all, I'm pretty proud of him.

That IS awesome! I'm actually thinking about having my fave Bible verse tattooed to remind me of God's promises:
Isaiah: 51:3
That is quite a tatoo!
Very nice. Is there a specific reason he chose to spell Matthew "Mathew"?
Are you freaking kidding me? Until you mentioned that, I didn't even realize that the idiot tattoo guy had spelled his name wrong! Oh my gosh, there's nothing like having something permanent on your body that is spelled wrong. I'm kicking myself because I even checked the design first, but I was so upset about the guy changing his design, I didn't even think to look at the spelling - duh. Matt is feeling pretty bad too.
Since he has to go back for shading and such, maybe the guy could work in another line for the other "T"? Just a thought.
