A New York couple paid $1,600 to get a portrait of cult leader Charles Manson tattooed on their legs, using some of his ashes mixed into the ink.
Patrick Boos told TMZ his wife, Deanne, of Niagara Falls, wanted to be the first woman with a tattoo featuring the cult leader's ashes, and he did not want her to go it alone, so he got one, too.
Patrick's is on his thigh, and Deanne's is on her lower leg.
Tattoo artist, Ryan Gillikin, otherwise known as Ryan Almighty, said Manson's ashes were mixed in with red and black ink to create the eerie artwork.
He wrote on Instagram last week that he 'spent an amazing evening with the infamous Patrick Boos and his wonderful family last night.
'They got matching Manson tattoos both based on my blood portraits of the old man, with something very special mixed in for good measure and the ultimate memento mori and tribute to Charlie.'
Patrick is now reportedly thinking of getting another tattoo using Charles Manson's ashes, potentially featuring one of his followers, Leslie Van Houten, who was convicted of murdering several people in 1969.
Patrick and Deanne Boos received matching tattoos of cult leader Charles Manson on their legs, using some of Manson's ashes mixed into the red and black ink.
Patrick has previously gotten a 'Helter Skelter' and an X tattooed on his head in another tribute to Manson. The X was meant to match the one the serial killer carved into his head as he stood trial for murder, and 'Helter Skelter' was a Beatles song that Manson misinterpreted as a call to incite a race war.
The matching tattoos come just 10 months after Boos, then 45, got a Helter Skelter tattoo on his head, with an X in the middle of his forehead to match the one the serial killer carved into his head as he stood trial for murder.
'Helter Skelter' was a 1969 Beatles' song on the White Album, written by Paul McCartney, using a fairground ride as a metaphor.
But Manson, the leader of the notorious Manson Family cult, misinterpreted it as a subliminal call to incite a race war.
And after he instructed members of his cult to carry out a brutal string of murders, including Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, as well as pregnant actress Sharon Tate, they wrote 'Death to Pigs,' 'Rise,' and 'Helter Skelter' in blood at the scene.
In an interview with Vice at the time, Boos said he considered the tattoo 'a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,'
