Westside Tattoos, Jacksonville, FL

This next photo is of my husband's (Tom's) tat that he got at Westside Tattoos in 1988 or 1989.  As he can't remember which year he got it, he obviously doesn't remember the artist... he thinks it was Mike, but can't be positive.  But it is 20 years old, and the colors are still very strong.  He's never had a touch-up done, and he was a surfer all through the 1990's and into 2000's, so you know it was exposed to quite a bit of sun. 

His (late) dad had a parrot tattooed on his leg because he loved Jimmy Buffet.  After his dad (Tommy Sr.) had that one done, my Tom (Tommy Jr), drew a picture that had a background of the beach (for his love of surfing) with the parrot in front of it.  The artist told him it would look better without the background, so he went with the parrot only, and did a great job!
