This morning I will be attending the media preview of the Royal Ontario Museum's upcoming exhibit, Tattoos: Ritual. Identity. Obsession. Art.

There will be more to share I'm sure in the days ahead, but for now I wanted to share these two cool videos about Brian Switek's Jurassic predator tattoos, (designed by me, tattooed on Brian by Heart of Gold tattoos in Utah).
