Michael has eleven tattoos in all. Only four were visible, and he offered up this one:
He had this musical symbol (the treble, or G Clef) tattooed in his left ear,
because it made sense to him. He loves music, even music he doesn't understand. Michael has seen many people with musical notes inked on their bodies, but he thought it was significant to tattoo a symbol for something he loves on the part of the body where the music is received.I asked him, on a scale of one to ten, ten being highest, how he had would rank the pain from having his ear tattooed. He said "6". And the most painful tattoo spot for him? "My thighs," he responded.
This note was tattooed at by a shop in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn by an artist named Steven. I am trying to confirm the name before linking it here.
I mentioned that Michael had three other visible tattoos. You can see them over here at Knuckle Tattoos.
Thanks again to Michael for sharing his musical ink with us here on Tattoosday!
