Back in "57

The first time I met this old timer was last summer. He wanted a fly tattooed on his leg. I think that's the first and only time I have tattooed a fly on someone. He told me that he wanted to get a lamp pole by his only tattoo that he got back in '57. He pulled up his sleeve to reveal a tattoo done by Doc Webb. I was pretty stoked! So  this winter  I added the pole 50+ years later!
This cat is awesome. Tattooing him was so cool. He told me he worked at San Quintin for 30 years as a guard and boy, did he have stories! I wish this tattoo took longer to do so I could hear him talk.
What a character!
