21 years ago.

I took this portrait of myself when I was a freshman at Penn State. My grandmother showed me how to tint it. She used to do it for a living when my grandfather, who I never met, was a portrait photographer in the 1940’s.

Porn moustaches were cool back then, similar to how tattoos are hip now. (However, I was able to shave.)

  1. Bow-chika-bow-wow hehe. Sorry I had to do it man.
    Hey least you can grow one. Me on the other hand, for some odd reason, I can’t even grow a beard. I’m 30 years old, and I feel like I’m still going through puberty heh. All I can grow is a soulpatch.

  2. But you are inked, right?

    I can’t believe I saw that thing in the mirror every day for nearly ten years and thought it looked good. I used to comb it with my toothbrush.

  3. Nah no ink on me bud. I thought about getting something done on me once, but honestly I ended up undecided. I had a few piercings back in the day though. Mostly just my ears and bottom lip i had done (mid 90’s I think I had that). Sighs, i miss looking like a gutter punk sometimes lol. Now I’m just normal looking, because you know, work tends to conform you eventually hehe.
