February 2009 Tat of the Month

Daniel Baxter -  Runs to the flag

This month's tattoo of the month winner is no stranger to body art.  For his running tattoo, he went with the classic 'visible with running shorts' location.  One of our favorite locations, and a reminder that when you run, you should wear running shorts.  Basketball shorts are for basketball! Below is the email we received from Daniel regarding his tattoo.

"I'm not local to Columbus, although I am coming to OH in May to run "The Pig".  Attached is my submission for tattoo of the month.  It's my 8th tattoo, but my first running oriented one.  It's located on my left quad, so it's visible with running shorts.  I've been working on the concept for quite a while, but it took Shannon Johnson of Ramesses Shadow Tattoo to make it real.  The 26.2 is obvious, the 3 runners are for each of the full marathons I've completed, Tupelo, Chicago & Memphis.  I'm planning on adding at least 2 more this year (Cincinnati & Chicago). "

Best of luck in your upcoming marathons! Congrats to Daniel on earning some fine CRC merchandise.
