Before I respond to the challenge I should mention the photo with this post is from one the pier at Gulf Beach one evening, and probably has nothing at all to do with my nickname but I always have photos with my post included this one which happened to be the wallpaper on my PC when I started it up this morning and I found it quite calming.

OK I have two main online names and one nickname that everyone calls me by so I will touch on each of those

Tattoodjay

I picked this name many years ago and have kind of stuck with i, I thought it was pretty self explanatory when I created it, Some people call me Jay and I have quite a few tattoos, Originally I was only going to get one in each country, so I have one each from Singapore, England, Indonesia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, New Zealand, I was in Canada for about a week at one stage and ended up getting two there so my one per country idea was out the window, and then I have added 7 more here in the United States
So I have 14 Tattoos in total, one being a Full lower leg aquatic scene that took about 15 Sessions with the Tattoo Artist and still is not quite completed, not sure if it ever will be when on Blood thinners they recommend to not get tattoo as the tendency to bleed a lot is not good for the tattoo healing.

Well I thought it was self explanatory as I said when I made it but I quickly came to realize it could also be taken and often is a Tattoo DJ and people thing I may be a DJ, that is so far from the truth and not me at all, so its simple I guy with a name starting with Jay who has a few tattoo's

I guess I should add at least one photo of one of my Tattoos and this is the only photo I actually have on my Computer and is the second to last Tattoo I got and is meant to represent my persona when I used to work in the field, a little Crazy, A screw Driver in one hand and either Coca Cola or a beer in the other hand depending on the time of day.

At some stage I will take photos of all my other tattoos and make a post about them all and why I schoose to get each one

Singing With Light

As you may have noticed the watermark on my Photos, well you may not notice as these days I make is small and unobtrusive hopefully

This is s a little Singing with Light Logo I made, Singing With Light is the name I came up with at one stage when I started to make a website for my wife and myself, My wife at the time was into singing and I must say she was very good at it

Here is a video a friend did of my Wife singing at a local Cafe a few years back, I may of course be a little Biased but I think she is awesome and feel its a pity because of her health issues she gave up singing

So I wanted to come up with a name that covered her singing and my photography and we were bouncing around ideas until I came up with the idea of Singing with light, my Wife is very spiritual so singign and light seemed to fit her, and at one stage somehow had described one of my photos saying i had the ability to make natures light sing and so that name SingingwithLight came together,

The Original website for both of us is no more, but I still have and update my photography Website http://www.singingwithlight.me/

I should have used Singingwithlight as my Steemit name since I am mainly posting about my photography but to late to do that now.

and finally my Nickname that everyone calls me JJ, I had a few nicknames over my school years but once I joined the Army at 18 and joined my first Unit everyone had a nickname, the Skinniest weakest guy in the unit was called Superman, the tallest Tiny, etc etc, and I became JJ which is my first two initials and a name that was stuck with me for over 40 years now, I really dont like my real first name so I am quite happy with being called JJ

it could also be JJJ or triple J and when I got confirmed I choose a third name starting with J

I would let you all know what the three J;s stand for but I will just say two of the three J Names are Joseph and James, the other I wont mention in this post :)
