Dive Tattoos
Marissa Lasso Tattoo by Body Tech, Gainesville, Florida “I moved from Pennsylvania to Florida to become a cave instructor because I absolutely fell in love with the caves. I am now an instructor (www.dive-
caves.com) and also manage the premier dive shop in Cave Country. I am known as the tattooed girl around here!”
Trisha Stovel and Khrista Zand Inked in Florida “We went to High Springs to do our Cavern and Basic Cave certifi cations last January. Jill Heinerth taught us, and Marissa Lasso (pictured left) from Cave Country assisted. We got these tattoos while there to celebrate our time in High Springs, checking out a whole new world of diving.”

Cohen Floch, Tattoo Union “As with any commercial
diver that’s busy, travel is a critical part of making
money. The ship is a take on the old ‘homeward
bound’ theme, except with my own twists.”
Kody Walley Tattoo by Jimbo from Adrenaline, artwork designed by Lilly “Diving changed my life and helps me fi nd an inner peace and maintain balance. Plus divers get tattoos!”
Peter Mesley Tattoo by Cosmin Raducanu, Inkoholics, Ireland “The skull and crossbones is a symbol of danger, rebellious spirit - defi nitely me! The compass is a nautical rose and refl ects the sea and the fact I’m a certifi ed boat skipper. Diving wise I’m into wrecks and caves hence the lights on the mask”.

Tattoo by Dave Green, Sacred Heart Tattoo “I had the tattoo done in one entire session about 10 hours! I choose the octopus as
one of my favorite sea creatures. It stands as a guardian and as an adaptable force
that always changes in nature to succeed. I compare that to a lot of my career underwater: always being able to change

and adapt to all situations I have been faced with while in my commercial diving career.”
