Black Swan Tactical said… - Hey John,
I see that somebody already commented on your tats. Like the tats too.... I'm trying to work my way though martial arts training and then would like to figure out how to "couch" a few martial arts tats in a sea of white lilies and a samurai on my back in the Japanese style. If I ever get to Japan that is...hahaha, I will have my whole back done.
Lots of fun.
Thanks,
Thomas

- Hi John, thanks for the reply no problems. You look like you train hard. Are you in the security industry and where do you train? I'm a long way from you in Australia but love networking with other martial artists around the globe. Hope your having a good day or night what ever the time might be. Are you snowed in like the rest of the states?
Cheers
