Bart’s and story came in through the Chicago Flag Tattoo inbox:
Bart Borrelli: I moved to Chicago in the Summer of 2006 with a few of my friends after Graduating from the University of Dayton. This was my first time living in the big city and I came without a job or a real idea of what I wanted to do with my life. Over the next 7 years I created some of the best friendships I could possibly ask for and so many great memories (and a lot of great stories I’ve been told that I can’t remember). I moved in August of 2013 when I got a job offer out in Washington, DC that I just couldn’t turn down and also to be closer to family. I came back to the city in March 2014 for work and had wanted to get this tattoo for a long time and timing was just right. Why not in the city itself! I was lucky enough to have 3 great friends living in Chicago come and support me on my endeavor. Chicago will always have a special place in my heart and now a place on my body.
