Route 66 tattoos that is.
From June 3rd Flash News which boasts what they call as offbeat news.
"Route 66 Fanatic Gets 84 Tattoos"
Ron "Tattoo Man" Jones gets his kicks by covering his body with tattoos featuring places along the Mother Road and in the process no doubt keeps various tattoo artists in and around his home of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, in money.
He gets new ink every several months and recently got what he calls his most painful one of recently deceased artist Bob Waldmire's yellow VW van. It took three sessions to complete.
He is thinking of more in July but admits he is running out of places to put the tats. Also, Ron somehow has one tattoo that has nothing to do with Route 66. How'd that get on his body?
We know Ron quite well and have met him several times. Once at the Alamo in Springfield, Illinois, he wasn't able to show up because he was elsewhere getting a you-know-what.
And some people think I am too much of a Route 66 NUT!!

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
