I came to ink very late-67- was my first and now I’m 73. I’ve got a large chest piece that is an abstract eagle, on calf has the iconic fallen soldier boots, rifle in the sand and helmet. It’s the soldier fallen. On the opposite calf is a version of Cellini’s Perseus holding the head of Medusa as the soldier victorious. Cellini might be surprised to find Perseus was something of a badass soldier holding a head he’s recently cut off, has “Infidel” on his chest and is significantly more masculine. In my left arm pit is a blue ringed octopus, one tentacle reaches out and down to the beginning of a full sleeve. Back piece starts behind my thighs and is the skeletal innards of me, illustrating the many surgeries. One thing, at my age, when I go to the crematoria, my ink will still be fresh…as opposed to those who started at age…17
