Photos: May the Fourth be with you (a long time, in tattoo form)

How better to remember Tatooine than by tattooing?

Star Wars fans are nothing if not passionate, and they celebrate all things Star Wars even more so than usual on May 4th, declaring 'May the Fourth be with you!”

Jason Evans, store owner of Neon Dragon Tattoo in Cedar Rapids, says that Star Wars tattoos are some of the most popular designs customers request. Two customers requested their tattoos specifically to be done on May 4th in celebration of the holiday.
