Eyelid Tattoos – 20 Years Old!

Holy moley, I really really love these photos (there’s a second if you click through) of Micah and his father (they sure look alike!). I’ll let Micah explain —

I thought you’d get a kick out of these. After about twelve years, I reconnected with my dad (this was last summer — I’m just slow at getting pictures developed). Anyway, here are some shots of us in Gloucester, MA. Yes, those are tattoos of eyes on his eyelids. They’re about twenty years old and were done by Big Joe Kaplan at his shop in Mt. Vernon, NY and twenty years later, my dad still thinks they’re the funniest thing in the world!

I think the whole “nature vs. nurture” thing applies here… considering I barely knew him growing up, and hadn’t seen him but once in twelve years (and who knows how long before that).
