Unless you thresh wheat or cut grass with horrible out-of-date methods, the scythe is the tool of one figure: the grim reaper. Just as grains grow after spring snow melt, ripen during the summer, and then fall to the harvest every autumn, so too do all lives pass on this earth. “In the life of a man, his time is but a moment,” writes Marcus Aurelius, “his being an incessant flux, his sense a dim rushlight, his body a prey of worms, his soul an unquiet eddy, his fortune dark, his fame doubtful....

Traditional American tattoo originated with the work of Norman ‘Sailor Jerry’ Collins. American traditional tattoo style is as a mix of symbolism, animal totems, nautical imagery, war themes, and nods to tattoo tradition stretching back even before Sailor Jerry’s time, including Japanese tattoos, Polynesian and Native American influences. Sailor Jerry passed in 1973 but his influence as a tattoo artist lives on through a host of tattoo shop proteges and contemporaries, traditional tattoo flash art, and the neo traditional style, which takes the fundamentals of old school tattoo and adds contemporary color palettes, technical design and application ideas....
