Tom's Two-for-Tattoosday Ink Honors His Heritage and His Love of the Yankees

He offered me these two tattoos (for Tat-Tuesday), whose close proximity on his forearm made them the natural choice.On top is the trinacria of the flag of Sicily. This

The core values instilled in her upbringing were virtue

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
