Hide and I briefly stopped by Arisia ’09 and I cosplayed my Pris outfit. For those of you who don’t know, yes, I’ve been known to cosplay from time-to-time. It feeds into my love of dressing up in strange clothing. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a con/cosplayed, and I’m really happy that it is just as fun as I remember it!

Hide and I went to get tattooed at Chameleon Tattoo in Harvard Square. This is not a tattoo parlor I would recommend for people who want original artwork or big pieces (all of my friends with either go elsewhere). But their artists are very good with a tattoo gun and because Hide and I had images from old Japanese stuff, we just wanted a steady hand.

I got Namu Myoho Renge Kyo tattooed on my back. It’s the Daimoku from Nichiren Buddhism (Wikipedia it). Hide got the crest from his ancestor Honda Tadakatsu on his left shoulder.
