Two Tattoos from Devin

Last Wednesday I had a productive inkspotting lunch hour, which culminated with meeting Devin in front of Penn Station.<br /><br />Devin has three tattoos, two of which are in close proximity on his left forearm:<br /><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYAXjbBGXzxw5kdxUy-KPWk6Lt3M6QAknxBfjkrc48COTaZeBjxx20m5CkEMqxB8c1pfF3s8cD0wcDrXuKw3tRx8h2ouoiWrjfFNAJpSXrnZD2BdwGm7UsFeMQCFthAM-w8z-DJpCU/s1600-h/devin.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448201938943315410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYAXjbBGXzxw5kdxUy-KPWk6Lt3M6QAknxBfjkrc48COTaZeBjxx20m5CkEMqxB8c1pfF3s8cD0wcDrXuKw3tRx8h2ouoiWrjfFNAJpSXrnZD2BdwGm7UsFeMQCFthAM-w8z-DJpCU/s400/devin.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" /></a>The first of the two he shared was also his very first piece he got when he was eighteen:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg0JBss_A_-oa6ALN8WHlfJXTfC0Ho3TIIpaxdd9xxsluq4tBXJnrsYMI3n6h_NSLZQCpceKTy4_8gUdYHxVQB4T2Tma8EYAS7m1kmgGitYeBgmLgaITAvSBWFpcAuf5Wc9ODFwmLG/s1600-h/Devin+Rancid.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448201337766074898" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg0JBss_A_-oa6ALN8WHlfJXTfC0Ho3TIIpaxdd9xxsluq4tBXJnrsYMI3n6h_NSLZQCpceKTy4_8gUdYHxVQB4T2Tma8EYAS7m1kmgGitYeBgmLgaITAvSBWFpcAuf5Wc9ODFwmLG/s400/Devin+Rancid.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 400px;" /></a><br />This "punk rock chick" is based on an old <a href="http://www.rancidrancid.com/">Rancid</a> logo. Aside from being a fan of the band, he liked the design, as well. It was tattooed by Brad Schicklgruber at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mackenziestattoo">Mackenzie's Tattoo</a> in Carmel, New York.<br /><br />Just above that is the sparrow design that is classic flash:<br /><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8bigN4FDWaJCGQ2fBY7pzahyphenhyphenfTdyPiu2P20ZRlyNXXlxJGSMnK1P929Ec4JgDb8lNq4fYDobpWVu-OawQAkX5511t_b9qo-Q7ZezmX8AHYpqvtDOcgCOAtrkW-sOKo2VYCJ9Alz4T/s1600-h/Devin+sparrow.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448201056145679666" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8bigN4FDWaJCGQ2fBY7pzahyphenhyphenfTdyPiu2P20ZRlyNXXlxJGSMnK1P929Ec4JgDb8lNq4fYDobpWVu-OawQAkX5511t_b9qo-Q7ZezmX8AHYpqvtDOcgCOAtrkW-sOKo2VYCJ9Alz4T/s400/Devin+sparrow.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" /></a>It seemed fitting, then, that Devin had this done by Eddie at <a href="http://www.oreillystattoo.com/">Sam O'Reilly's Tattoo Parlour</a> in Santa Cruz, California.
