Where I am spring is really starting to happen, and I've just had my first days of wearing shirts that let my tattoos show again. I find that after a long winter, I sort of miss seeing them on a regular basis. I've just updated a bunch of the tattoo convention listings, so if you are thinking about new ink, you might want to take a look to see if there are any conventions coming to the area where you live, or where you might travel to without too much trouble.
