Every BODY Has A Story - Serra in Charles Town, WV
"This tattoo was designed by me, from a standard photo of a Bard Parker Scapel with blade. I had this tattoo done because I have had a total of nine surgeries, so the tattoo is a dedication to my doctor's successful efforts. There is a lumbar spinal surgerical scar right above the tat, and a thin red tattoo line extending from the bottom end of the scar to the scapel tattoo. My spine doctor liked it so much he took about 20 pictures of it for the classes he teaches. He said he had seen tattoos where patients had attempted to 'cover up' a scar, but never one where the scar had a scapel tatoo extending from it, thus emphasizing the scar itself.
The tattoo was done by Tommy of 'SlowPokes Tattoos' in Ranson, WV.
