MODEL
LORNE MOORE
My tattoos represent both a place and
a time in my life; each one brings back a
memory of where I was at in my life and
who I was with.
My first tattoo, at age sixteen, was a
Slipknot tattoo. I was big into heavy metal
and played in bands for years.
My second tattoo is my last name “Moore”
across my arm. I grew up with only a
mother and have taken on her last name
from birth. I am the only one to carry on
the last name in my family.
My third tattoo was a tribal design on my
arm. This tattoo has no meaning at all I
just thought the design looked good and
I wanted a large piece for my bicep and
shoulder.
My fourth tattoo is a clover which represents
my Irish background. It reminds me of my
grandmother, Madeline Patricia, who was
born on St. Patrick’s Day.
My most recent tattoo which is seen in this
photo was done in Melbourne, Australia
where I have lived for the past two years.
I have always been fascinated with the
Japanese culture and Samurai
warriors. The artist (Marshall)
at Third Eye Tattoos does
fantastic realism black/
grey work; this is by far
my favourite piece!
