I have three tattoos. There are a number of other members with tats as well. There's a couple of threads around here about them if you can dredge them up. Might save a lot of effort.

In 1970 when HST was running for sheriff in Aspen, that was the logo he used: a double thumbed fist grabbing a peyote button. Gonzo has about thirty different origins depending on who you ask but it came to be known as HST's journalism style; getting completely involved in the subject until you're a part of it. I admire him a great deal, all throughout his life he was crass, uncompromising and brilliant. He has been one of the few people I've felt I could look up to.
