Jason's Astrological Ink: Three Taurus Brothers


I met Jason and his father Charlie (see his ink here) at Penn Station while they were in between trains on a Miami-Boston journey.

Charlie caught my attention first, but he proudly indicated that Jason had tattoos as well. After talking to the father, I turned to the son and took this photo:


In the astrological race on Tattoosday, Taurus clearly has the lead. It helps that bulls make for such great tattoo art. Check out previous Taurus ink on the blog here.

Jason explained that, of his four tattoos, this one on his left bicep is particularly special, not just because he was born under the astrological sign of Taurus, but because his two brothers were as well.

The DJD under the bull represent his and his brothers' first initials (Dakota, Jason, Derry).

This piece was tattooed at his house in Florida by a family friend, "Crome," who specializes in tattoo and graffiti art in Miami. Check here to see Crome's work in Miami. He apparently is one of the trailblazers in the form of "MSG," or Miami Style Graffiti.

Thanks to Jason for sharing this astrological tribute to him and his brothers here on Tattoosday!
