Holy moley, I really really love these photos (there’s a second if you click through) of Micah and his father (they sure look alike!). I’ll let Micah explain —
I thought you’d get a kick out of these. After about twelve years, I reconnected with my dad (this was last summer — I’m just slow at getting pictures developed). Anyway, here are some shots of us in Gloucester, MA. Yes, those are tattoos of eyes on his eyelids. They’re about twenty years old and were done by Big Joe Kaplan at his shop in Mt. Vernon, NY and twenty years later, my dad still thinks they’re the funniest thing in the world!
I think the whole “nature vs. nurture” thing applies here… considering I barely knew him growing up, and hadn’t seen him but once in twelve years (and who knows how long before that).

When I see pics like this I wish my Dad was still alive so I could be all crazy with body modifications with him!

I wonder if it looks like he’s wearing eyeshadow when his eyes are open.

Christ, I wish my dad would drop off the planet and only reappear if he suddenly understood my love of this stuff, or got some of his own. Oh well, at least he’s in Korea.
This is an adorable couple of pictures.
Also, I’ve always loved the Native/Homeland shirt.

To Pierre (#18)and
When I took this picture Micah was standing on a hill. Don’t let him fool you!
And may I just say, that the similarities between the 2 of them are disturbingly abundant!

Mela: it is possible. i remember as a kid, he brought me a page of a tattoo magazine that had a picture of him. that probably would have been sometime in the early 90′s.

It’s like Jughead from the Archie comics. Except he used glasses to look like he had his eyes open.
