So I've decided to stop cutting a while back...I've almost gone 90 hours! And my bro just stopped by and said if I can make it to Saturday without cutting I get a free tattoo! So it'd be my 7th one, and my second free one. Woot!

That's a really awesome goal and a great way to stay motivated! You definitely can do it!  Take pictures of the tattoo.

You can do it! Any idea on what you're going to get?
