Brandon Smith

I've been working on my sleeve for three years with artist Kyle Proia. Half my arm is a b&g owl and half is full color ADK mountain autumn.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

It's modeled after the Adirondack mountains where I take my family every Summer. I associate with the moth, the spider and web are my fears. I actually had arachnophobia and got the spider to condition myself not to fear it.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

A lot of bug and frog noises, interspersed with the occasional hoot of an owl. Also, the persistent reminder to moisturize and sunblock your skin so it doesn't fade.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Add onto whatever ink Bang Bang puts on me, one session won't be enough! Also buy an upright 5 string bass and crowdsource a name for it. Then record a song dedicated to Bang Bang on it. I'm not saying Eminem is guesting, but I'm also not ruling it out.
