The Sea Creature

Acquired: ~2011
Meaning: A girl that Ben loved drew this on a napkin, and he decided to get it tattooed on his wrist.
Related: “…beautifully ridiculous…”

Like that creepy waiter in the background of this picture, you’ve been checking out Ben’s tattoos. Let’s chart the territory of his “body mapping.”
The “Aloha” Monkey
Location: Inside right forearm
Meaning: The image was created by Norman Collins, also known as “Sailor Jerry.” Collins rode the rails as a child, and he learned to tattoo by practicing on fellow riders. As an adult he became a sailor and professional tattoo artist. He was a big fan of traditional Japanese tattooing, and he introduced a number of innovations in American tattooing.

Ben Foster (excellent) and Lubna Azabal (luminous) inhabit their characters with such a natural grace that they could be mistaken for documentary subjects.
This was such a cute… whatever it was.
