It’s alright, I’m still alive and enjoying what I’ve got,” he said. “It could be 40 months but I won’t live ten more years.
In an effort to make as many last memories as possible before passing on, Caskey decided to begin a campaign to convince as many strangers as possible to get matching tattoos with him. The Ohio man only had six tattoos when he first started but still plans on getting another 1,500 tattoos if time allows.Caskey began approaching random people in malls and on the street. At first, many people thought he was crazy, but once he begins to share his story of being diagnosed with terminal cancer and wanting to live like there’s no tomorrow many people have connected with Caskey – 609 to be exact.
As his story has spread, people from all over the world have reached out to Caskey wanting to help with his mission. He also said that he’s received all his tattoos, worth an estimated $40,000, for free as word has spread around the tattoo community.
