News: Tattoo Artist Found Dead - Apparant Suicide

From Karen L. Hudson, About.com Guide   July 14, 2007

Jontel Milbry was recently found in his car, dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Milbry, 25, was a tattoo artist apprentice at Masterpiece Tattoo in Staten Island New York, under the direction of owner Mike Pastore. Milbry had a rare blood condition known as sickle cell anemia. It's unknown whether his condition was the cause for him ending his own life, but he did recently tattoo the words "sickle cell hell" on his thigh.
