In the world of music and tattoos, stories of fan devotion are common, but the case of Barry Flowe, director of the Bridgewater College marching band in Virginia, stands out. Demonstrating incredible loyalty to his word and his charges, the conductor adorned his leg with a large tattoo of the legendary band Metallica’s logo. This act became the final chord in a daring bet that Flowe made with the members of his Screamin’ Eagles ensemble before the start of a prestigious national competition.
