Portrait of a Patriot: Sam Bloomfield

So, I was at the 4th of July parade in Everett today when I was approached by this fella with a sign and an umbrella asking me to take his photo. "Sure" I said thinking to myself how cool the guys face paint was. As I held up my camera I noticed that his face wasn't painted. It was a full on tattoo! Whoa! I took some snapshots of him and let him know I was putting them up on the internet. So, here we are! I gotta say, this guy is probably one of the most patriotic people I've seen lately, and he has the tats to prove it! You can read more about Sam at this link to the Seattle Post Intelligencer article from 2008.
