Major: English
Whale of a tattoo: O'Connor read Melville's Moby-Dick last summer and based his tattoo on the illustration of literature's most famous whale rendered by Rockwell Kent for the Lakeside Press edition of the novel. "I read it at a very important time in my life, the close of one era and the beginning of another. The tattoo is an attempt to mark that."
