Name: Stephen Masso

Year: Junior

Major: Systems Science Engineering

Tattoo locations: Forearm, Ribcage

Story: Stephen has two tattoos (and is planning on a third) written in his father’s handwriting. The spanish phrases come from the final page of a booklet of thoughts, notes and poems (some pensamientos) his dad gave him several years ago. The first one, which he got at 16, translates to:

Thoughts

Learn to Control

Your own impulses

and you will be victorious

 

 

 

The second, which he got freshman year, means:

 

When you count the

stars Count them

two by two and if they appear

too many that's how much

I care for you

Parent approved?: While his dad knows about the tattoos, they were a personal choice for Stephen.
