Tattoo from a Francophile

Earlier this summer, I posted a couple of tattoos from Joe, seen <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2010/08/two-rocking-tattoos-from-joe.html">here</a>.<br /><br />Needless to say, Joe became a fan, and updated me with a new tattoo, below: <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU8VgRjsbYuuaOzYoMKHc9hkJwqoCB6hppZGITc2ncZlGWQV1xvnqz6guZOJLizAE9OogCP-uOBOPQXLBWeAmSVgw0kw4sbGdlCad5rmZGvP64sGY9UqaOlBzkmt7jq42g-atYoyem/s1600/joe+again.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU8VgRjsbYuuaOzYoMKHc9hkJwqoCB6hppZGITc2ncZlGWQV1xvnqz6guZOJLizAE9OogCP-uOBOPQXLBWeAmSVgw0kw4sbGdlCad5rmZGvP64sGY9UqaOlBzkmt7jq42g-atYoyem/s400/joe+again.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Joe explains:<br /><br /><br /><blockquote>"The picture is fresh from the artist finishing it. It is "C077X" and is a nod to <a href="http://james-franco.com/">James Franco</a> and <a href="http://abc.go.com/shows/general-hospital"><i>General Hospital</i></a>. He is my fav actor and I have been watching <i>General Hospital</i> for at least 21 years. It is the the tag that "Franco" sprayed on everything when he recently guest starred on <i>GH</i> as an artist/serial killer. His character's name is Franco, reflecting that art imitates life. A motto the actor and character believe, and so do I. That is why I got the tattoo. To prove art imitates life!" </blockquote><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigEWQsFKK8ftEqHuHHfsSzxk_zn3ydm-Je5wdpB7rVQLWJIwJo7FBHiE6fv9XthNVbjvL2k8bnMV93v8wODzUDrBaqobPELKp-AQYhMsBbX4fNJ6Rte2RgYJOJyEEwY1V9jYSD0gAb/s400/102309_Graffiti_GH_611x322.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Photo Credit: ABC via http://sn.soapnet.go.com</i></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigEWQsFKK8ftEqHuHHfsSzxk_zn3ydm-Je5wdpB7rVQLWJIwJo7FBHiE6fv9XthNVbjvL2k8bnMV93v8wODzUDrBaqobPELKp-AQYhMsBbX4fNJ6Rte2RgYJOJyEEwY1V9jYSD0gAb/s1600/102309_Graffiti_GH_611x322.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>The tattoo was inked by <a href="http://www.brooklyninktattoo.com/rob_tattoos.html">Rob</a> at <a href="http://www.brooklyninktattoo.com/">Brooklyn Ink</a>.
