Yes. I have a new itchy-peely tattoo. Yes, it is kinda my name. Haha, yes how handy in case I forget, drink too much, whatever. Haha ya it’s inspired partially by Levi Johnston and a Porn Star… Douche-y! Lol and stuff.

Anyhoo, so when deciding what I would ever tattoo on my body I really came up short. I knew I wanted a tattoo, yes. Very much so. However, lily pads and lotus flowers were out. Tribal *anything* is passé. Also barbed wired. Also i like letters i can read.. No languages. And animal paws and butterflies aren’t my thing. A tattoo needs to MEAN something. I coulda got my cat’s name. Or a picture of my cat napping on an iPad I suppose….I really wanted something modern and unusual. Truly unique to me. But what? I had photos of two tattoos that I loved but they were the persons name. Semi-celebs actually. Who am I to do that?

But when I thought about it, the most meaningful thing in my life is my online identity. It is how I know all my best friends. It is where I find new amazing contacts. It is where I tell my story either in 140 characters or long paragraphs. You see, danielphillip is not my name. It is a version of my name that I have used on the Internet since 2003 as my identity. My screen name. It’s who I was on the inside, yet wasn’t ready to be…

I feel it is finally me. I am finally the confidant character I have portrayed behind a computer all this time. I am very proudly danielphillip and take physical ownership of the past seven plus years. It is now, for better or worse, on my body. I love how it looks! And if you wanna know why I did it, Google it. Danielphillip. It’s all there-
