Holy fuck, look at the ink on that guy! I remember seeing a WWII Navy vet once collecting for some charity outside the Credit Union. He was covered and probably in his early 70's at the time. Hold Fast on his knuckles and all! I was with some squares from work, so I was too nervous to approach him to ask about his ink....wish I had now.
