It was my boldest moment as a tattoo solicitor to date. A half-dozen or so Green Day fans were decamped in the early afternoon near the artist entrance at Madison Square Garden. Green Day was playing that night and I saw one person inked, a woman, but I chose to announce to all: "I write a tattoo blog and was wondering if any of you had Green Day tattoos?"
Sadly the answer was "no," or, I should say, not exactly.
The woman I spotted before spoke up and we chatted about her ink. She was okay having me take the following photo, one of the few I've posted in which you can identify the tattoo contributor:
Her name is Geraldine and the tattoo she is displaying is a memorial piece for an ex-boyfriend who recently passed away.
Joseph was a musician and died of a heroin overdose.
Geraldine is a huge Green Day fan and Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer for the band, has the name Joseph on his arm, in honor of his son.
Geraldine chose the same font as Billie Joe's Joseph tattoo and noted that, in the song "Jesus of Suburbia" the first three letters of each word in the song title spell out the first three letters in the name Joseph.
She had this tattoo at Ink Inc. in Kingston, New York.
Thanks to Geraldine for sharing her story and tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
