Nescher explains:
As a matter of clarification, I asked Nescher about the kanji representing his wife's name. He told me that the "three symbols mean--so I've been told--'Mother,' 'Earth' and 'Love.' " He added that she is a geologist, by occupation."The tattoo was done in two parts. The first part was my wife's name in Chinese, surrounded by an infinity symbol. It was my wedding present for her. I designed the tattoo myself, and I was inspired to do so by a ink-stamper-thing-y my wife's father brought home for her from China. The second part, my son's name, was my wife's Christmas present to me when our son was born. I do not remember the name of the tattoo studios or the artists, but both tats were procured in the Akron, Ohio area."

As for his son's name, Geir, he clarified that his name means Spear, which is Icelandic or Norwegian, in origin. Nescher added that "names with value and freighted with meaning are important in my family. He is the strong weapon in my right hand, the spear we cast into the future."
As for a poem, Nescher, offered up this piece:
dustbitteni plant the seed of myself within myself--mutated, cloned, half-life-whole thatgropes toward darkening life--and watch the poisoned weed of me grow.i am the frozen feathers of a bird in flight,locked to dead tree, dying in estrous,decayed in birth, and forgotten before the windcould sweep through feathers.i am eye,i am face,i am eari am the frozen corpse at the bottom of the wellleaking into life; oozing into being;draining into dream and desirei am fisti am naili am bent, broken fingeri water the tumors of me with the salt of my tearsthe iron tang of my blood,the sweet toxin of my urine.i am teethi am tonguei am busily working lipsi eat my flesh, taken straight from crippled vineand wince at the taste of my self-inflicted pain,juices running unchecked down my pocked and hairlesschini am blisteri am burni am wounded, weeping soremy madness drives me, sings inside meand keeps me warmthe feel of meeting teeth on my broken skin feelslike warm rain in the evening;sun setting on life foreveri am stonei am fleshi am dust
