#100

by Adam & Lara on 01/08/11

Happy New Year, everybody. This is the 100th installment of andnowthisishappening.com.

The Badgers lost the Rose Bowl on January 1st, so we can take solace in the fact that the worst thing to happen in 2011 already happened. It's all up from here.

Anyways, we were thinking of doing something crazy (perhaps even regrettable?) for our 100th post, but we totally pussed out. Instead Adam just got this giant sleeve tattoo:

That's a rainbow trout jumping out of Lake Tekapo with Mount Cook in the background. It was either this or a heart with "Mom" inside it.

The trout's name is Travis and he's angry.

The tattoo goes around the entire inside of Adam's arm and was not painful whatsoever in case you were wondering.

Here is the tattoo artist - a German guy named Elvis who does Japanese style tattoos in New Zealand.

Evidently these things are permanent and frowned upon by traditional thinkers, so that blows all chances of Adam becoming a kindergarten teacher in the Midwest or deep South.

That is some bad-ass shit dude! I think it looks awesome. You don't see too many tough guy fishing tattoos, but this works

I would have preferred a giant heart with "Mom," or a fantasy scene involving a Liger, Unicorn, and a scantily clad barbarian woman... but I guess this will do. Miss ya bud!

Are you getting ear holes like Elvis's, too?

Not to worry; St. Louis Public Schools would hire you, despite your various body mutilations...Jonny Chang, you're my favorite child now...

That is actually a pretty awesome design, but shouldn't you have to catch one of these trout before you can wear a tattoo of one of them? I'm just sayin'.

That sleeve looks badass Adam. What's Lara goingt o get now?

Jim, I knew you were going to say something like that. Unfortunately you have caught 100% more trout in NZ than I have so you have full trash talking privelages.
