Default Did you know what Co-Founder had a Tattoo

About Dr. Bob's tattoo(s) ....


A tattoo he wore the rest of his life was probably from those days at Dartmouth: a dragon and a compass tattoo. The dragon wound around his left arm from the shoulder to the wrist. It was blue with red fire. His son thinks "he had to have been drunk to have it put there, and you didn't do something that complicated in a day. When I asked him how he got it, he said, 'Boy, that was a dandy!' And it must have been, too."

Do we really believe that A.A. Comes of Age, As Bill Sees It, Pass
It On, and Dr. Bob and the Good Oldtimers ought to be
ignored? Where else can we learn, for example, that
Dr. Bob was "gloriously tattooed" with curious figures, including
snakes? [Page 298, Good Oldtimers] Do you need
to know this? Well, did you ever sponsor a tattooed (and
very angry) biker? Enough said!
