My friend Jimmy Johnson of fists of fury fame just got some new ink that took me by surprise.

Jimmy writes, “In that I’m a Jew, and an anarchist, and in that I enjoy decorating my body, your design of Jewishness and anarchism is now on permanent display. Obviously you didn’t make that design so it could be branded onto me, but thanks for coming up with it. I liked it when I first saw it way back when, but it’s kind of grown on me, literally now I guess, as my Jewish identity has solidified to the same extent that I’ve identified with anarchism for years.”
Clearly, there are some halakhic issues here that are a little hairy, as Jewish law prohibits one from getting tattooed, but I’m extremely flattered nonetheless. As Kelsey says, looking over my shoulder, “If you’re gonna transgress a doreisa, that’s the way to do it.”
After all, it’s not like it’s as bad as David Blaine’s ink.
That’s unfortunate. You could have seen the ray of evil.
I’ll have to create an acct just for that purpose i suppose.
only if you put a baby in a jar as your profile pic
That would sure beat my toenail clippings.
(Just kidding.)
I made an account, how do I find you?
Also, sent you an email which says just that.
Hmmm, I didn’t get an email. Dan can give you my main email address, that’s how you’ll find me.
I used the email address off of your blog.
Oh, I hardly ever use that one. It’s got a crude spam filter. Let Dan give you my main one; that should work.
Found your mail in the spam folder..
I’ll add you by use of the email address.
