How did you get into tattoos?
Well, my first tattoo I got at 15 the John Travolta one, I thought it
was funny. I was in the metal and hardcore in New York and everyone
had tattoos and I hanged out it tattoo shops, so I got one and kept
getting more and eventually moved in with my tattoo artists.
Among
all your tattoos which is your favourite and why?
This one here, the one that comes up my throat it is my sister's name,
she died when I was 15 she was 14 so its memorial tattoo, it's the most
important one to me.
Which
is your last?
This one, a heavy metal tattoo, a skull and medieval helmet and wings
I thought it was funny and but it looks badass.
Do
you have ideas for the next one?
Um, yeah I mean I have ideas but I don't have time to get tattoos. I
was thinking of getting one over here. I was thinking of getting a Queen
Elizabeth one. Like a woman in a Queen Elizabeth pose with an a big
Elizabethan collar but with a big ant-head, I don't know why, its just
an image I got in my head.
Is
there a tattoo artist that impresses you?
Yeah Philip Leu he lives in Switzerland, everything by him is pretty
amazing.
And
do yuu have a message for kids who wanna get tattooed?
Don't get anything that's trendy, get something that's timeless something
that means something to you. Don't pick anything off the wall.
