This tattoo is tribute to my father who died on 3.14.14. He was incredibly kind and courageous and made me who I am today. My dad always said that Ignacio was hard for non-Spanish speaking people to pronounce so for his military service and education, he chose mostly to go by his middle name John. For me, and for our shared pride in our Chicano heritage, he will always truly be Ignacio "Nachito" Flores and because he died on Pi he truly will go on forever. Mike Stobbe at Avalon Tattoo 2 did this for me and of all my 8 tattoos, this is my favorite.
