A Roundabout Tale of a Swedish Tribal Tattoo
Yesterday, I joined my friend Janet for lunch at Chipotle on 45th Street.
There was a fundraiser at which a $5 contribution bought you a burrito, chips, a drink, and an opportunity to meet Yankees manager Joe Girardi. His charity, The Catch 25 Foundation, was the beneficiary of all proceeds from lunch. Here's proof I'm not making this up.
Janet and I were dopey enough to go without any Yankees memorabilia to get autographed. So he signed a flier for me and (yes, there is a tattooish point to all of this) declined to sign Janet's skin, above her "I ♥ NY" tattoo (featured on the blog here). It was worth a try.
And no, Joe Girardi didn't offer up a tattoo.
However, Janet and I grabbed the downtown V train after lunch. I got off at 34th Street and figured I'd cut through Manhattan Mall.
Waiting at the bottom of the J.C. Penney basement escalator was Julio, visiting New York from Sweden.
Now, I'm not a big fan of tribal designs, but Julio had this pretty cool one on his upper right arm:
See! There is a tattoo in this post!!
Julio's tattoo was inked for him by an artist at Magic Man Tattoo and Art in Skövde, Sweden.
Thanks to Janet for lunch, Joe Girardi for the autograph, and Julio for the tattoo. Tattoosday appreciates all you did to make this post happen!
