The story behind the tattoo from Flickr:
“Ever since I was little I joked about getting my birthmarks numbered–that I was one big connect-the-dots tattoo that made a “me”. When I got older I obsessed over the idea of an extremely visible invisible tattoo. I then worked for four years on a project I called “The Stalking and Murdering of a Childhood Giraffe” were I spent four years searching for a giraffe I had as a child and taking pictures of any I came across that were “rejects”. 1,712 rejected giraffes later, after I finally found the giraffe (with the help of over 50 friends or “giraffe hunters”) I got this tattoo.”
