Displaying his talent

Michael “Taco” Cordona, above, manages Own Identity Tattoos and Body Piercings, 22091‚Ñ2 Mahoning Ave., Youngstown. He shows off some of his work on his body, as well as some of the designs available to those who want an elaborate skin print. Cordona has more than 19 piercings, most on his face and tongue and 33 tattoos on his body. He said the most dangerous body modification he underwent was a stud placed in the skin between his right nostril and right corner of his mouth. His most painful modification, however, is the tattoos that cover his armpits, he said.
