Sea Turtle

Ashley, a student and employee of the MOA's own Underwater World tattooed an ode to her favorite rehabilitated sea turtle, Seemore, on her foot.  The white lump on the turtle is a characteristic of Seemore, (as this is tattooed in her likeness), the lump is actually a weight which is used to help her dive.  Seemore was injured, (likely from a boat propeller), and her shell cracked.  The trapped air in her now repaired shell prevents her from diving, so the weights were added to counterbalance the trapped air.  Beside the turtle tat, I started a giant tattoo on Jackie's side/half back and did some writing on Amanda's back.
