Dancing Girl Tattoo

A white miniature poodle with long hair and ears (see photo) named Jessie inspired this tattoo on the arm of David Marrucco. From David and Donna Marrucco’s report, Jessie inspired more than ink. She was a super-smart member of the family who lived to the ripe old age of nearly 20 by feasting on shrimp, fish, conch and veggies by day and dancing in The Pirate’s Den in Key West by night. “Sometimes the girls would get mad because Jessie would come off stage with more money in her garter belt then them,” says Marrucco, who owned that famous establishment in the 1990s.
