Artist's Comments

My first Tattoo, done on May 27th 2008 at Thrive Studios by Danny Penne.

From the Novel Catch-22 by Joseph Heller:
"There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.'
'That's some catch, that Catch-22,' Yossarian observed.
'It's the best there is,' Doc Daneeka agreed."

And that is why I got this tattoo- it's just brilliant.

That is pure genius right there. I can't blame you on that one.

For me the outline hurt a little, at one point I had to take a break got kinda light-headed. But the filling in which is done with a different style gun was like nothing. :)

I'd never be able to do it, I bow down to your ability to go through all that.
