Jack Dracula, born Jack Baker, is a famous tattooer who spent the 60's tattooing and getting into trouble in New London Connecticut.
His story is both compelling and interesting. From the looks of this article, New London CT was a VERY different place back then. Probably a lot more interesting then it is now even.
His birthday is on Christmas day. He has no family or children of his own and is a ward of the Park Pleasant Nursing Home in Philadelphia.
I'm encouraging you all to send this colorful and pleasant old man a card this Christmas season.
He is also a fan on McDonald's cheese burgers so if you go to visit him in the nursing home I would suggest bringing him a small token of your appreciation.
Thanks to Dan owner of Whaling City Tattoo in New London for the heads up on this article!
