Interesting project. Not something I'd do myself! If you look at your past, did anything foreshadow that you'd one day do this? Like you played a game with a modified character or something like that? Also, one semi-serious question: what does your mom think of it?
I can't say there is anything I'd point to that foreshadowed me doing this. I've got little personal interest in tattoos and haven't even got my ears pierced. I suppose I quite liked watching Inspector Gadget as a child, but I'm not sure how much influence that had. :)
As for what my mum thinks: she isn't a huge fan. I'd expressed my interest to her prior to getting it put in, and she wasn't entirely for it, but she honestly doesn't seem to care all that much and understands it is something I really wanted.
