Believe it or not, I still have a couple of lingering pre-September tattoo encounters to write about, one of which is this bizarre tattoo I spotted two months ago today:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0v1lgviodjrK76TJCD-pdaUMnSRV8SModoTjM0RIvqq3tmeyDwyBBk9ip1-MDBMWyNhuhTElfMOw3O0yJ13dcnGG8KSsG113Nw6GAXhrBUVn1nH2c2qEn07xIXIKkslCWUH27Cy48/s1600/marlin+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0v1lgviodjrK76TJCD-pdaUMnSRV8SModoTjM0RIvqq3tmeyDwyBBk9ip1-MDBMWyNhuhTElfMOw3O0yJ13dcnGG8KSsG113Nw6GAXhrBUVn1nH2c2qEn07xIXIKkslCWUH27Cy48/s400/marlin+wm.jpg" width="355" /></a></div><br />This tattoo on Michael's right ankle is one of three that he has. He explained that it is an interpretation of a painting that hung in <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/flacos-cuban-bakery-gainesville">Flaco's Cuban Bakery</a> in Gainesville, Florida where he played in the house band, <a href="http://www.michaelclaytorandhisfriends.com/">Michael Claytor & His Friends</a>.<br /><br />The band played there for two years and, as a tribute to the experience, Michael had this tattooed to honor the experience.<br /><br />This was inked by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mikesalay">Mike Salay</a> at <a href="http://www.anthemtattoo.com/">Anthem Tattoo</a> in Gainesville.<br /><br />Thanks again to Michael for sharing this cool and unusual tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!<br /><br />And a little Michael Claytor bonus: <br /><br /><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SVg6F4TG1sA?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SVg6F4TG1sA?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
