NAPA — Shortly before Ryan Switzer graduated high school, he took a trip to Yogurt Mountain in West Virginia with his dad, mom and little sister. Neither parent knew their son had recently gotten a tattoo on his lower lip, but some of Switzer’s friends and their parents did. A family friend and her husband joined the Switzers at Yogurt Mountain, and she asked the family, “Hey, what did you think of Ryan’s tattoo?”
“And the look on his face…,” said Michael Switzer, Ryan’s father. “We had no idea. I thought it was like a rub-on deal.”
Switzer didn’t get a tattoo because he lost a bet or to rebel against his parents before jetting off to star at the University of North Carolina.
