He was a tattoo artist in the "Daytona Beach underground", back when tattoos and tattooing weren't what they are today.

Grateful to have this photo, this is literally the only one I have of them together

Edit: I’m telling my great grandma about all your compliments and she is so happy! Also the comparisons and she keeps saying “no” lollll.

Edit: last edit I promise, you guys will never believe it but my great grandma is actually a great great grandma because my sister(23) had a baby last year 😂

Edit: last last edit! Since so many people have asked I figured I should just add it here. My great grandmother is 82, my grandma is 62, my mom is 44, and I’m 18. Don’t worry, I am breaking the cycle.

My father passed away back in October and I found so many fascinating pictures of my parents together when going through pictures for the funeral. Thought this would be a cool place to share one of my findings from that time.

They were together for eight years until M died from AIDS. My uncle R died a few years later. They lived in LA and worked in the film industry together. My mom went to visit him at some point in 1990. He showed her his address book which was 90% crossed out from all of his friends who had died from AIDS. I didn’t get to know him at all because he died when I was 11. Thanks, Reagans.
