Andy Honors Hercules

Today's post is noteworthy as it features the final photos taken by <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2008/07/hello-polaroid-goodbye-kodak.html">my old camera</a>. A day after this encounter, the screen cracked, and that was that. I've been living on borrowed cameras ever since.<br /><br />This tattoo, offered up by Andy, was spotted in <a href="http://grandcentralterminal.com/">Grand Central Station</a> in a <a href="http://www.hudsongroupusa.com/">Hudson News</a> shop:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPXVPf5XLMpskFHFfb6OFxeU48tBlrk59Ez2iiOwyt7XLkrYJEm3Q44NSwvH2m10A1PvN5LfNr_DvhnOB7V1qximQMlFQoXgLqzCkvx548Xd6BUCKnAQ7IkcXmo-DT-VhuX_Wrdy9m/s1600/Hercules+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPXVPf5XLMpskFHFfb6OFxeU48tBlrk59Ez2iiOwyt7XLkrYJEm3Q44NSwvH2m10A1PvN5LfNr_DvhnOB7V1qximQMlFQoXgLqzCkvx548Xd6BUCKnAQ7IkcXmo-DT-VhuX_Wrdy9m/s400/Hercules+1.jpg" width="346" /></a></div><br /><br />Andy explained that he got this tattoo because the boat pictured, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules_%281907%29">Hercules</a>, is a "great old steam tug".<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb1nExbPUXcOH-cSytfcxH0ijzh4PIfTKK8P-qMl049oY-F1oMN9Ym-BzyQ2EwdlUfC6SjHOG9WTBxZNyTY7Q5aOnCBHjNEvaAKyGQknMdZGrwPzbC20Odz4ZjHDwKleXzePapAGgG/s1600/hercules+collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb1nExbPUXcOH-cSytfcxH0ijzh4PIfTKK8P-qMl049oY-F1oMN9Ym-BzyQ2EwdlUfC6SjHOG9WTBxZNyTY7Q5aOnCBHjNEvaAKyGQknMdZGrwPzbC20Odz4ZjHDwKleXzePapAGgG/s400/hercules+collage.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />This historic boat, built in 1907, can be seen at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Maritime_National_Historical_Park">San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park</a>.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjubKRRAglb6XXeJIRaaC_uKHJI476v4Fq6I-aFNp-RDTUKcRFk5hlRIsS-_8j3yjfud1ddh8heqhi2CEf3Nsxy6Nx-1QzQq4xcTrfSp_0OZxgI3cuPbi9FibVT1GDTbLx068VZGFpP/s1600/Hercules_0506.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjubKRRAglb6XXeJIRaaC_uKHJI476v4Fq6I-aFNp-RDTUKcRFk5hlRIsS-_8j3yjfud1ddh8heqhi2CEf3Nsxy6Nx-1QzQq4xcTrfSp_0OZxgI3cuPbi9FibVT1GDTbLx068VZGFpP/s400/Hercules_0506.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />This tugboat took <a href="http://www.sacredtattoo.com/artists/matthew-j-adams">Matt Adams</a> at <a href="http://www.sacredtattoo.com/">Sacred Tattoo</a> about four and a half hours to complete.
