John Millhouse was a famous ink collector in the world of tattoos featured in conventions and magazines over the years. He had a body suit that evolved with dark imagery being the theme. One of John’s key goals was near perfect symmetry. It strted with a small skull tattoo on the back of his neck and the theme grew from there.
At last count, he had 276 Skulls on his body. John had one artist do his entire body suit – Rick Harnowski of Tattoos by Rick. Sadly, this tattoo celebrity passed away at the young age of 52 in 2008.
The body suit took 5 1/2 years to complete and totaled 413 hours of work. Photos of John’s unique ink work have been printed in over 50 national magazines. In 2004 one of his photos won the Best of Photojournalism award for “Sturgis Tattooed Biker”. People with a body suit like John’s is hard to find. The paitence and planning involved take a unique personality.

Thank you for your post on my husband John. He loved his tattoo family of artists and friends. I miss him dearly.
I must say,even though I enjoyed reading through the things you wanted to say, I couldnt help but lose attention before too long. It really is just like you have a excellent grasp about the subject, however, you neglected to incorporate your audience.
Very good idea you have there, how much more if you added more topics in your posts
I don’t know if I can post something like this, it is unlikely and I think only you have the guts to do this.

Good site! I truly love how it is easy on my eyes and the data are well written. I’m wondering how I could be notified whenever a new post has been made. I’ve subscribed to your RSS which must do the trick! Have a nice day! “A rut is a grave with the ends knocked out.” by Laurence J. Peter.
