So a few months ago I had a bunch of Steemit Business cards printed up and have been steadily passing them out to people I thought would join Steemit and bring value to the community. However, for the 15+ months I have been a member of this amazing community I have teased several times that I was going to "Get a Steemit Tattoo". Well I tease no more!
That's right, I got a Steemit Tattoo - and a bonus surprise so keep reading!
I found a tattoo artist in Missouri today that I thought could do what I wanted and contacted him. He came and opened up early and after a few drafts we decided on the right look and placement. I wanted the Steemit Logo but I wanted it to be different, eye catching and unique. I think we achieved all three of those.
The Beginning
Selfie with the Artist
Stage 1 Complete
Finished (still in chair)
A few minutes after cleaning
A few hours later (after washing it with warm water and soap)
Bonus (Look who I met)
As soon as I walked into the tattoo studio I saw someone who looked really familiar working there, but I couldn't place who. Probably because I am not a big fan of Rap Music but had previously seen one of his videos posted in Steemit Chat a few months ago. Well today I met Sedated and he just returned from touring Russia and was back at work helping out in the Tattoo Studio. He was cool as shit and after watching a few of his music video's on Youtube (while getting the tattoo) I have to say I dig his music, alot!

Way to go @venuspcs! I was a bit skeptical in the beginning but it turns out the tattoo really goods pretty damn good. Congrats to the tattoo artist :)
If this post does well enough i am going to get a piece of steemit jewelry made out of tungsten or palladium and then do a video of me getting a prince albert.....lol
So awesome man! You're killing it! That's about as boss-mode as it gets.
Hope you don't feel like that Zune tattoo guy in a few years...

Branded tattoos seem like a silly thing to me, but to each their own.

Awesome tattoo. I had a friend that had a monster climbing out of his shoulder like that but have to admit this is much cooler.
Resteemed and upvoted! That is an awesome story and one sweet tat as well.
