I met Preston in early May on the train platform at West 4th Street.<br /><br />I spotted his tattoo and we talked about it.After along wait, we finally get to see this, one of Preston's five tattoos, here on Tattoosday:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-UjnD992m8AEaIU4HMeVt1jEGKqh3DlpLtEMFNyKy_2dKIASaNDMEGFgxpSBV6tSzNYdToGR7rxL1kvuoFj-E_cMMt7yVlrRMq7HOs-huKKEor2EWhXU1O105Am6Mf2f9fUTY6CPr/s1600/Space+Invaders.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-UjnD992m8AEaIU4HMeVt1jEGKqh3DlpLtEMFNyKy_2dKIASaNDMEGFgxpSBV6tSzNYdToGR7rxL1kvuoFj-E_cMMt7yVlrRMq7HOs-huKKEor2EWhXU1O105Am6Mf2f9fUTY6CPr/s400/Space+Invaders.jpg" width="337" /></a></div><br />These are,of course, images from the original <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_2600">Atari</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Invaders">Space Invaders</a>, one of the forerunners that was the first video game to truly take the world by storm.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6NGNqxBWEk7MJoWt7r-tb3NxfzeBbsvuzNcNGhZMFDDqXffT2b1U2S7rBZdDKmkl36hHLa_FyTSoFiaV68wFxDZHVDwTlheBazoIX8zwCf9n1dxE6S2yNSZzcgZv5LncrzGdLrmnq/s1600/SpaceInvaders.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6NGNqxBWEk7MJoWt7r-tb3NxfzeBbsvuzNcNGhZMFDDqXffT2b1U2S7rBZdDKmkl36hHLa_FyTSoFiaV68wFxDZHVDwTlheBazoIX8zwCf9n1dxE6S2yNSZzcgZv5LncrzGdLrmnq/s320/SpaceInvaders.jpg" /></a></div><br />Preston told me that these symbols represent space invasion. The neon green color makes them stick out even more and, he added, they make a "great ice breaker".<br /><br />As a result, he continued, "people invade my space" when they question him (as I was doing) about his tattoo.<br /><br />Preston is a musician by trade, who goes by the moniker Press Reset. Check out his website <a href="http://pressreset.com/">here</a>. And <a href="http://pressreset.com/itunes.html">this link</a> will take you to his new record <3 on iTunes, where you can listen to (and hopefully, buy) his music.<br /><br />Preston credits the tattoo to an artist named Ziggy who tattoos out of South Florida.<br /><br />Thanks to Preston for sharing his alien neck tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
