My good pal @gettinggsnowedunder made me realize I hadn't posted photos to Tumblr yet of this! This is my first tattoo. At a Hey Rosetta! show in Cleveland back in like 2011/2012, I asked Tim Baker to write one of my favorite bits of lyrics down with the intention of getting it tattooed on myself. Well, it took me ~15 years but I did it!
First pic is shortly after getting it in December 2025, the other two are from today so you can see how it's healed and settled in.
Sometimes your teenage self does something dumb, but teenage Ken did good here. I still love New Goodbye and I still love the idea of reminding yourself to be amiable and curious, especially in new situations.
