Why did you get your Boingo tattoo(s)? To immortalize my feelings for the band. I first saw them open for this little group no one had heard of called ‘The Police’ and was hooked ever since. I saw nearly every show I could drive to. I became “Beetlejuice” for 10 Halloween events, and went to all of the Farewell’s.
