This is a story of someone who never stopped chasing after their dreams. Buzz is a 23-year old that is diagnosed with autism, and all he has ever wanted was to get a tattoo. “As a child, he loved the fake ones and would freak out when they washed off,” Buzz’s mom, Sandi Green told KTVU.Time and time again, Buzz reiterated that he wanted a real tattoo, and they had agreed to wait until he was older to finally do it.

On his 23rd birthday, his parents decided to turn his dream into reality. Green started looking for a tattoo shop that would ink up Buzz, yet all the shops they had visited either turned them down or quoted exorbitant prices. For someone who stands 6’3” tall and weighs 200 pounds, Green said their response was reasonable as they didn’t know how he would react to the needle once they began tattooing him.

For months, they never gave up and continued the search until they encountered Pat Masga from Northwest Inkorporated. “When Buzz arrived he had a huge smile. From the moment I met him and that’s when I told myself that this tattoo is getting done – no matter what adjustments I have to make,” Masga said. “Whether it took me five hours or five sessions, I was willing to do it. He sat like a champ, didn’t complain or quit, and we did it!”

Five years ago, Buzz had already decided on getting Tommy Pickles from Nickelodeon show “The Rugrats,” tattooed; he couldn’t have been happier when Masga finally completed the tattoo. A week after getting inked, he was already back at the shop to get a half-sleeve done. Moral of the story? Don’t let anybody tell you things are not possible, because everything is possible, once you set your mind to it!
