Learn MoreI recently bought a 56’ Ford Customline to use as a daily driver. I named him The Green Man after Peter Steele from the 90’s goth rock band, Type O Negative. I’m gradually learning how to work on my car. He’s got this one spark plug that burns up fast as hell. Iv’e had to change it so many times I can change it with my eyes closed. It’s part of my relationship with this machine and learning how to keep it running. So I got an oily burnt up spark plug tatt! šš„
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it might say “Thank you for bringing attention to all the utilitarian objects that get forgotten about because they seem insignificant. Forks, pens, pencils, ice picks, scissors, rope, spark plugs, nails, etc, deserve to be highlighted as meaningful elements of human life”. Or it might say “Stop trying to explain us like we’re part of your f*cking art school thesis. We jusss wanna be weeeird and cooool”. āļøš
What would you do with the $25,000?It’s hard to say exactly what I’d do with $25,000. I just want to be in the magazine tbh! I grew up poor and happy, for the most part. I think I still hold many of the values I learned by experiencing my early life that way. I have never put too much emphasis on money besides having what I need to survive and having a little extra for fun. Realistically, I’d purchase some nice new tattoo equipment to tatt you guys with, and save the rest to go get married in Vegas one day! š¤£š
