I Did A Thing

The First Day of Spring!

And, for my birthday today, I'd like to reveal my new ink:
As Tat'O looks today.
Design
Done, in December 2022.
My friends, I mourn for Paddy O'Malley in ways I'd never thought of.

Some will consider this tattoo rather bizarre, yet it soothes my soul.

On the first anniversary of his death, an idea began to formulate: I'd be able to see his goofiness if I had a permanent image of him.

Pondering for months, I then researched tattoo parlors, tattoo artists, and gathered my favorite PO'M images.

I threw my trust into The Universe, and stepped forward.

You may wonder why I dislike Winter, but it's really that, like a child, I cannot wait for my birthday, usually in the First Day of Spring.

Happy Spring everyone, and Happy Birthday to others who have 20 March as their natal day, such as Brian's mum at Brian's Home.

And this Tat'O was my present to me, although Paddy O'Malley was the true gift in my life.
😻💕🎈🌷🌨🌞🍀😻

  5. Happy birthday! (This is John, from "I Have Three Cats"; I have a feeling I'm going to show up as 'Anonymous'...) Paddy O'Malley was truly one of a kind. It was very unfair that he had to leave just as he became an insider-cat. Very unfair.
