Dorothy Tattoo


“Suicidal Tendencies was scarified on my arm, and I was tired of looking at it. On my calendar, whatever month it was, was a picture from The Wizard of Oz—Dorothy standing in a field of poppies. So I brought that into a tattoo shop and began the cover-up process, a 180 degree turn from the punk rock inspired scars.

Ironically, the tattoo artist who did the job had his own story to tell. Once, he found his grandmother passed out in a field of poppies. And his mother owned a prized dress that was worn in a movie by Judy Garland, the actress who played Dorothy.”
