At the end of July, while searching for Green Day tattoos, I met, perhaps, the ultimate Van Halen fan.
Nick was hanging out at the side of Madison Square Garden, talking with a friend, and I spotted several rock-themed tattoos on his legs.
Nick has seven tattoos and let me photograph three of them. His outer right calf has this Eddie Van Halen piece:
This was done by a visiting artist at one of the Tattoo Lou's locations on Long Island. Work from Tattoo Lou's has appeared on Tattoosday previously here.
The better of the two Van Halen pieces (in my opinion), on his inner right calf, is this one, inked by Thom at Tattoo Frenzy, in Lindenhurst, New York.
The detail on the guitar is incredible:
Nick says, with certainty, that he has seen Van Halen in concert 394 times (as of July 2009).
He also shared this other tattoo, from his left leg:
This piece is based on the cover art from Aerosmith's Just Push Play album:
Thanks to Nick for sharing his rocking tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
