Tattoos - Ink addiction

Dragon Tattoos: How many tattoos do you have?
I have one on the upper-right side of my back. It is a picture of a dragon wrapped around an iron rod and there is Japanese writing. The writing means strength, together and underneath it says "Iseri," which is my mom's maiden name. That's the side of the family I'm closest to.

Significance?
Well, you might not be able to tell by looking at me, but I am actually a quarter Japanese. In Japanese cultures the dragon is the lord of the skies. It is the perfect symbol of power and benevolence.

How did you come up with the design for your tattoo?
When I decided I wanted a tattoo, I knew I wanted a dragon because my older brother and sister both have dragons as well. We all planned on having dragons and our family crest so that we would all have similar tattoos that were personal to each of us.

How to Avoid Death by Angels

Dragon Tattoos: It seemed like a good idea at the time referring to jurors by numbers rather than their real names and now U.S. District Court Judge Robert Lasnik is glad he did. After all, the defendants in the federal racketeering case Lasnik presided over here this summer were members of the Hells Angels, a group not known for its kindness to others. To wit, as one court witness testified, Angel Rodney Rollness, now doing life for murder, had warned him that if he spoke up, "he would take my tattoos off with a wire brush."

Dragon Tattoos: Dialo Wells loves his mom. He also likes tattoos. So, why not put the two together?

He rolled up the sleeve on his right arm to expose his sign of thanks for years of parenting and love. TANYA is scrolled in cursive, black ink on his bicep.

My brother has three tattoos, said Wells, a 17-year-old senior at Roosevelt High School. �It just symbolizes things. I got my mom�s name because I love my mom.
And he wants to get more.

I'm thinking about getting a cross or something to do with Jesus next, Wells said. I want to show what's important to me Mom and God.

Wells, who was a lineman for the Roughriders football team this season, got the tattoo when he was 16.

State law bans minors from getting inked. Tattoo artists, who must be licensed by the Iowa Department of Public Health, face a serious misdemeanor charge otherwise.
