Michael and his Misfits Ink

I met Michael in Bay Ridge, at 92nd and 3rd Avenue, and he offered up these two tattoos on his forearm:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_1K0QJg0Fy79pX6pnZAJ8y-JopY3ywlc20xgE3xgFRzd0BXgPRY_d-zfBFIb8mVjwQa87RNNQ70iTsuM0qukRb4pg2rrO8czM5xLAaNbj2EkJjIK1zhUHd4gOZHK1slXyAOIpwE26gws/s1600/Misfits.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_1K0QJg0Fy79pX6pnZAJ8y-JopY3ywlc20xgE3xgFRzd0BXgPRY_d-zfBFIb8mVjwQa87RNNQ70iTsuM0qukRb4pg2rrO8czM5xLAaNbj2EkJjIK1zhUHd4gOZHK1slXyAOIpwE26gws/s640/Misfits.jpg" width="284" /></a></div><br />I recognized the top piece as a <a href="http://www.misfits.com/">Misfits</a> tattoo and asked why he chose it.<br /><br />He responded:<br /><br /><blockquote>"They are my favorite band of all time and when I say the Misfits, I mean the 1977-1983 Misfits. That to me is one of the greatest bands of all time and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Danzig">Glenn Danzig</a> is my favorite singer of all time."</blockquote><br />He credited <a href="http://markharada.com/">Mark Harada</a>, currently at <a href="http://www.eastsideinktattoo.com/">East Side Ink</a>, with tattooing this back in 2002.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.the7thhouse.com/">Danzig</a> skull below the Misfits piece was done, he told me, by <a href="http://christorrestattoos.com/">Chris Torres</a> in 2010.<br /><br />Here's a little classic Misfits to get you going today:<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="405" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vu4VeAzx8HI" width="500"></iframe><br /><br />Thanks to Michael for sharing his tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!<br /><br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This entry is ©2011 Tattoosday. </span></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;">If you are reading this on another web site other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.
