"This tattoo has a funny story behind it," Dylan Young from Rochester, New York, said. "A few years ago, a buddy and I rode our motorcycles to a rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. We walked up to the festival to have some drinks and watch the biker party begin. Well one thing led to another, and I woke up with this tattoo. The best part is, my buddy has a matching one. Only positive is, it's not a terrible tattoo, and we will always remember our first motorcycle rally."
