The best part of being a refugee is the frequency with which it allows me to see my dear friend Dana. Not only do I get learn more about her ministry in Pattaya and grow in friendship with her, but she also takes me along to do some really cool things. Like venturing off to a small tattoo shop just off the beach, to pay a special visit to a talented Thai artist named Mark. Don't worry, Mark speaks English.
I had the privilege of being with Dana and her friend Collyn as they endured a few painful minutes which will now serve as a permanent reminder of who they are in Christ. On Dana, the Greek word μαθητής (ma-thay-tes), or, 'disciple.' On Collyn, the traditional Thai script ลูกสาวที่รัก which means 'beloved daughter.' Both of which turned out awesomely. And both of which are beautiful identifiers-- a small mark of Truth on each of their bodies.

Of course I took the opportunity to take some photos. I was trying to make it art-- to capture the scene from my own point of view in a way that others can relate to. My friend Eric Pitts has posted some shots of tattooing which have inspired me, but he is way cooler and way more talented than I am.
