From the newsletter:

 

"One thing that has been quite different for me during this trip has been people's reactions to my new personal appearance. Ashley has insisted that I keep my new Avanyu tattoos exposed to air so that the can heal/cure properly. That has meant that I have had to cut the sleeves off of my t-shirts, exposing more of my shoulder muscles than most folks had any idea existed. After heaving 45 lb. long boxes filled with comics day after day for the past eight months, however, I am now in pretty darn good shape. That having been said, I have been fascinated by differences in people's reactions to tattooed Chuck, and the more traditional "cowboy" Chuck. As a case in point, we stayed at the NYC Hilton this week (Priceline - $139), which is filled with upper middle class tourists. When I walked through the hotel lobby in my t-shirt with my tattoos exposed, people would avert their eyes and try to avoid me. When I went out for coffee this morning with one of my long sleeved button down cowboy shirts on, however, all I encountered were warm smiles. I was quite amused by this, as I knew that my Avanyus were still right there, but they just couldn't see them.

 

So you know, comics fans have been far more accepting of my new appearance, with my having received dozens of compliments at the convention on the beauty of my new body art. Other people's opinions aside, I personally am even happier with my tattoos today, than when they were first completed. In all candor, I actually had a great deal of trepidation about how I would feel about being inked, but I have now completely bonded with my Avanyus. In all honesty, I can no longer imagine living life without them. Sometimes, a very scary decision turns out to be exactly the right one..."

That's certainly not the background of any of his shops in Denver.

It's one thing to have a mid life crisis. It's another thing to publicly advertise it.

 

Doesn't a mid life crisis happen when you are middle aged? Uhmmm, this guy looks about 65...
