I love dragons. I am 70 years old and started my first, the dragon head at 69. Susan, my late Lady, and I started the idea in the late 80’s.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

It started as a dragon but after her passing I began to read again and learned of Goddesses. She was my Goddess and is represented by my latest but it only happened yesterday. The dragon itself needs a spine and tail that crosses my buttocks and extends down my right thigh. One of our ideas. The sleeve my tribute to her. 04/23/2016 @ 13:58. The story is long spanning not only 30 years but lifetimes.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

The dragon is eternal like our love. Born and forged in fire both from our love and passion for each other but because we had to endure the many attempts to end us over the 30 years we were together.

What would you do with the $25,000?

First I would finish the ink that we dreamed of
