WASHINGTON (CNN) – Sometimes, a T-shirt just doesn't cut it. For those who want a more permanent way to showcase their support for Barack Obama, Washington's tattoo parlors are ready to help. "There's nothing more memorable than a tattoo," said Matt Jessup, better known as "Fatty," the owner of Fatty's Custom Tattooz and Body Piercing. His shop is celebrating what it has dubbed the "Obamathan," where customers can get a free "Obama '08" logo tattoo if they buy another tattoo worth $200. The Obama tattoo, Fatty says, is worth $70. "A lot of people are feeling very inspired and taken by this moment in our nation's history. And for many people, they are in town for this historic event, they want something to remember it by," he said. Filed under: Inauguration |
