Elizabeth " Bess" Throckmorton

 I am directly related to Elizabeth " Bess" Throckmorton on my Dads Grandmothers side , she was the mistress of Sir Walter Raleigh , when finally the powers that be had enough of Raleigh they cut his head off , Elizabeth keapt his head and had it embalmed so it could be buried with her 


Here is the next tattoo i am having done i drew it of course! 

Here is me and my wife in Greece telling the story of Bess to a Stuttgart doctor and his nurse wife , they asked for a photo with a treasure map and a real living relative of a pirate 
they then sent me this pic when they got home to Stuttgart 
To add another tenuous link i have contacted the NHL team the Carolina Hurricanes who are based in Raleigh , Carolina and who used to be the Hartford Whalers who where based in Connecticut where my great uncle lived  , so i have informed them of all of this and have now chosen to support the Hurricanes .... GO CANES!........ supporting a sport team as a art is very important to you all .......

  
Here is the tattoo 60 quid well spent
