Last September, at my dear friend Jill's wedding, I met Joe, who is the father of Kathy (Jill's step-mother).
There wasn't a lot of visible ink at the wedding, but when Kathy saw me at the reception, she yelled "Hey, Tattoosday!" and brought Joe over to see me.
He held out his wrists and I snapped the photo above.
It was a bit noisy at the reception, but he basically said that this was his motto. In Latin, Ora et Labora mean "pray and work," and as Joe tells it, all he does is work and pray. The phrase is attributed to Saint Benedict.
Kathy concurs, "I will tell you that he does is work and pray ... or tell us to work and pray ... it really is quite a theme with him."
This was tattooed at Godspeed Tattoo in Breckenridge, Colorado. Joe got these words inked on his wrists a few years back, when he was in his early seventies. Who says cool tattoos are just for the youth?
Thanks to Joe for sharing his tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
