Raul Honors His Father with a Portrait


I spotted Raul outside of F.I.T. and stopped to ask him about this portrait on his inner left forearm.

The gentleman pictured is Raul's father, based on a photograph of him taken when he was serving as a paratrooper in the Armed Forces of the Argentine Republic.

Raul told me he always had a special relationship with his father, who had always wanted his son to follow in his footsteps in the military. Raul explained that his father, however, changed his tune about this late in his career.

Raul did not indicate whether this was due to his father's feeling about life in the military, or a result of his seeing that his son was not meant for a life as a paratrooper.

Regardless, the portrait is a touching example of a son's affection for his father.

Raul credits this piece to Triple X Tattoo in Manhattan, and remembered the artist being from Australia and named Mike. A call to Triple X did not clarify this, as I could not connect the three elements to positively identify the artist.

Nonetheless, thanks go to Raul for sharing his inked portrait of his father with us here on Tattoosday!

Jason's Astrological Ink: Three Taurus Brothers


I met Jason and his father Charlie (see his ink here) at Penn Station while they were in between trains on a Miami-Boston journey.

Charlie caught my attention first, but he proudly indicated that Jason had tattoos as well. After talking to the father, I turned to the son and took this photo:


In the astrological race on Tattoosday, Taurus clearly has the lead. It helps that bulls make for such great tattoo art. Check out previous Taurus ink on the blog here.

Jason explained that, of his four tattoos, this one on his left bicep is particularly special, not just because he was born under the astrological sign of Taurus, but because his two brothers were as well.

The DJD under the bull represent his and his brothers' first initials (Dakota, Jason, Derry).

This piece was tattooed at his house in Florida by a family friend, "Crome," who specializes in tattoo and graffiti art in Miami. Check here to see Crome's work in Miami. He apparently is one of the trailblazers in the form of "MSG," or Miami Style Graffiti.

Thanks to Jason for sharing this astrological tribute to him and his brothers here on Tattoosday!
