Holy Mural! It's Painted Over!?!

Neil Amstutz e-mailed this photo and wrote that this mural "used to be on Alvernon south of 29th street on the tattoo parlor. The wall has since been painted white unfortunately. I do not know how long the mural had been there." Amstutz took the photo in May 2007.

Does anyone know the artist? If so, please leave a comment at the end of this post. (You can remain anonymous.)

Update (July 18, 2024): The photo looks very similar to the current Ancient Art Tattoo at 2108 South Alvernon Way.
