(Get Rad was a skateboard art show he put on, which i was a part of)

i'm currently scouring through photos to find new shots of my dad's oldest tattoos, but he got a boatload done over a 10 day span at End of the Trails when Goodtime Charlie was in Wichita in the early '80s. this would be within a few years of getting them...

horrible photo of a nurse shark i got in my left ditch in September '09...

i waited to get my first until i was 20. my parents are both tattooed (my dad is about 75% covered, mom has a few smaller ones, a few big ones, and is finally getting her sleeves done starting in a few months). i knew i wanted some text my dad has on his forearm for about four years, and i added the skull underneath because i like skulls. also, the straight edge XXX underneath... at this point, i wasn't sure how tattooed i was going to be, so i had long sleeve shirts in mind, and also wanted to get the two most important things in my life represented (the parents and the straight edge bits).

the arm that looks like you could pole vault an IV into it is my dad, with the original...

i had a job working at the front desk of a college dormitory, including signing in guests after hours. a girl always came in with her boyfriend, who had PERSAVERANCE down his forearm (yes, i misspelled it... so did he), obviously home made. he turned out to be a really cool, funny dude, but that always cracked me up.
up there with that is a tattoo a friend of mine who works at a gas station saw one night... a well executed tattoo of the word FAMILY on someone's leg, but in Comic Sans. he said it was really difficult to not say that he loved it and ask for a picture. i really, really wish he would have.
