Junior Moreno adored the old black-and-white photo of his father — in uniform before a game, knees bent, hands clasped, slight smile.
He thought of ways he could honor Carlos Horacio Moreno, an Argentine-born defender, longtime coach and naturalized Venezuelan who on May 13 died of cancer at age 70.
D.C. United’s midfielder had spent several days with grieving family in Buenos Aires, and the day before returning to Washington, he went to see Juan Jaimes, a tattoo artist who over the years had done work on Moreno’s soccer-playing brothers.
In painstaking detail, Jaimes created a replica on the inside of Moreno’s right forearm.
