This past Tuesday, on the seventh anniversary of eloping with my wife, I went to Josh Woods of Black 13 and got my first tattoo. I’ve always loved tats on other people, but I have NO desire to ever regret something like this. For that reason, I’ve been waiting 8 years before getting my first. THIS one, I’ve been stewing on for over two years with very little in the way of tweaks. That being the case, we decided to dive in, head first!
I know it LOOKS black, but it’s actually a very specific shade of gray called “middle gray.” Photographers have used it for years to help determine exposure and white balance. Ansel Adams was the first to quantify it officially. He called it the Zone System. The “V” is for zone five. Roman numerals are used rather than digits to differentiate what you’re talking about. Feel free to read more about it on wikipedia!

As a side note, I tried to convince my wife that a photography tattoo could ABSOLUTELY be written off my taxes, she would not be swayed. Any CPA’s wanna back me up on this?
