Checkout Mike Portnoy’s interview with www.Heavy-Metal.de where he discussed his tattoos:
My first one was the DREAM THEATER MAJESTY symbol. I got that in 1988, so I was 21. So that’s my oldest one and I have seen hundreds, maybe thousands of MAJESTY symbols throughout the world. It’s good to know that I’ve had the first one that anybody ever had. And the second one was Charlie Dominici — our old singer.
