July Events:

Totally unrelated to books but I got a new tattoo this month that I'm so totally in love with that I just have to share it. I have to give a HUGE shoutout to Paul Birchmore from Diamond Heart Tattoo for doing such an incredible job with the design and adding so much detailing. These pictures were taken immediately after it was finished so it'll take a few weeks to fully heal but it already looks incredible.

I asked Paul to base the elephant on one of my photos and I think he did a fantastic job!
