DuBOIS,Pa.(Dec.15)-Ralph Bonebreak was born to be wild- in 1910.The 94-Year-Old man recently got his first ink at the Tainted Flesh tattoo parlor in his hometown.Bonebreak emerged from under the needle with a locomotive on his right arm and an eagle on his left.
"Tattooing an older person is a bit more difficult because their skin is different and sometimes it comes away from the muscle a little," said Bob MacCready,a tattoo artist at Tainted Flesh.
Before Saturday,the oldest person MacCready had ever worked on was an 81-year-old patron.
A lot of men who wnet into the military got tattoos, but Bonenbreak's 38-year career with the railroad kept him out of the service,said his friend Eve Camuso.
"He's always wanted a tattoo,but back then the only place you could get one was the county fair," Camuso said. "They weren't very clean."
Camuso and Bonebreak asked a docter about medical complications before contacting MacCready.
Bonenreak selected a train to commemorate his time with the railroad. belt buckle inspired his eagle design.
Bonebreak might have been nervous,but he didn't show it when he hopped in the chair.
"It's a new experience so I'd say i was a little anxious," Bonebreak said.
