Larry's Tattoo Burns at Both Ends

Occasionally, but not too often, I do venture out of the city to places far, and not so far, away.<br /><br />Fourth of July weekend, I was up visiting friends in Woodstock, New York.<br /><br />On July 3, we found ourselves at an outdoor flea market and I met a couple of inked folk, including Larry who has "a lot" of tattoos.<br /><br />When asked to choose one, he offered up this piece on his forearm:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhK0OPszPlYWAQGAm5T_UULv3QCubJCa2AGD-AB1gL0lLUDgOeFHm5-ucO3vX5wtHHyrZME60V7NFHe68jRRZHahC0RXf1xQkNH9tafhxzZ3_XFZcD2592tiVr6HzFAeTrVKv5aK4T/s1600/no+tomorrow+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhK0OPszPlYWAQGAm5T_UULv3QCubJCa2AGD-AB1gL0lLUDgOeFHm5-ucO3vX5wtHHyrZME60V7NFHe68jRRZHahC0RXf1xQkNH9tafhxzZ3_XFZcD2592tiVr6HzFAeTrVKv5aK4T/s400/no+tomorrow+1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />The image, of a candle burning at both ends, reminds him that life goes by quickly. The "No Tomorrow" is a spin on the carpe diem, or "seize the day" philosophy.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNhVMDc0VfHegoJwQgmVqULvO6aBEy-g_ycE_vry1cC7j96Gzk65JcGIMD5S85GtvMJ-t9Zgj1Z_FSXKP92fjXCzqFVZXFNPtstxJutl1aFsAKOqiTPTHRV5qykQ50rUsdS2F7YucS/s1600/no+tomorrow+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNhVMDc0VfHegoJwQgmVqULvO6aBEy-g_ycE_vry1cC7j96Gzk65JcGIMD5S85GtvMJ-t9Zgj1Z_FSXKP92fjXCzqFVZXFNPtstxJutl1aFsAKOqiTPTHRV5qykQ50rUsdS2F7YucS/s400/no+tomorrow+2.jpg" width="247" /></a></div><br />The tattoo was done by JR Maloney at <a href="http://www.vanguardtattoo.com/">Vanguard Tattoo</a> in Nyack, New York.<br /><br />Thanks to Larry for sharing his tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
