ALTERNATE IDENTITY AND FINAL DAY

Today's final exam was most defiantly fair and straight foreword. It was relaxing that kip was walking around and talked to us during the exam about our identities. As a response to today, however, i want to focus on my alt. identity:

For my alternate identity piece, I decided to have a couple friends, Michaela and Milana Vachuska, cover my arms in tattoos. My left arm is a full sleeve, covering from my wrist up to my shoulder. This piece was primarily done by Milana, who drew two sparrows with bright sun rays emanating up to my shoulder and dark, bold blue rays down my forearm. On the outside of my forearm, i got a "tattoo" that I've wanted for a while. Milana wrote the name of the street I've lived on my whole life in Venice, "Dudley Ave"in Old English font. Michaela proceeded to do all the swirly embellishments to connect the two pieces, truly making it into a sleeve. On the right arm, I told Michaela that i wanted something with the word venice in it, and gave her freedom to just go with it. She read my mind, and drew a small scenic landscape of the boardwalk (off of which i only live a few steps) with the word venice hovering in the skyline, framed in swirly embellishments.  Both of the pieces turned out awesome. The amount of public attention and recognition was FAR beyond anything I could have expected. Everywhere i went, heads turned, glances turned into lengthened stares, and best of all, upwards of 20 people asked when I got the work done, and if it hurt. Usually I played with them, and said "i got it finished up a couple days ago", and "it wasn't too painful", only telling them the truth if they didn't actually figure it out on their own. more than anything, its made me consider actually getting a tattoo in the near future. But we'll have to see about that. PICS BELOW
