First World War. So many Navy men obtained tattoos and often became tattoo artists due to their exposure to cultures in which heavy tattooing was prevalent, such as the Polynesian Islands and Japan. Prior to the Social Security Act, during the New Deal, most artists worked very little. With the country in such a depressed state, they often practiced and tattooed one another, or tourists. Most artists also worked from flash, pre-made designs that could easily be copied onto the skin or slightly altered to make the tattoo appear custom. Prior to 1935, flash was mostly generic, such as a heart with lettering, simple script, or the family crest. <modsnip: broken link>
An anchor under a superimposed Cupid (In classical mythology, Cupid (Latin Cupido, meaning "desire") is the god of desire, erotic love, attraction and affection. He is often portrayed as the son of the love goddess Venus, and is known in Latin also as Amor ("Love").-Love the ocean, Navy, ships? Or was love tied or bound by or to an anchor?

He connected with one or some of the stories portrayed in the comic strip Jiggs (which has an interesting history). A story about a father and his son: "There was the time Jiggs's half-wit, shiftless son, Sonny (known as Ethelbert in the earliest days of the strip), is forced to leave college and is put to work at Father's business, though he can't be bothered with going in to the office and spends more time with the pretty stenographer than with the firm's clients. And the time Jiggs buys a movie studio and surrounds himself with young starlets, much to Maggie's disgust, until the studio burns down, bankrupting them and temporarily forcing a move back to the old neighborhood, much to Jiggs's delight." <modsnip: broken link>
Irish? Reddish brown hair; blue eyes. Also mentioned in Jiggs. "poor Irish families"
A family who lost everything, like in Jiggs. The description of his clothing (considering depression times) were costly: Clothing: Dark brown cashmere pants with a zipper. Found in the area were three shirts; one a white knit polo shirt with a Park Royal Broadcloth label. An old brown cap, a white pair of undershorts; with blue stripes and a laundry mark variously reported as "J. D. X.", "JD" or "J. D. A.". And a pair of tan oxford shoes (size 7 1/2), rather worn, with their laces tied together and a pair of thick socks stuffed inside.
