What inspired your most recent tattoo?

The “shitty duck” was inspired by a past potential client that my tattoo artist was going to tattoo. Client wanted the “shitty duck”, tattooer wanted to redraw, client refused, no tattoo was done that day but the drawing was held onto for years. Always joked about getting it, finally got it as my last tattoo.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

For the most part, timeless. There’s something about traditional flash that will never get old.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Tattoo wise, I would finally get my legs finished up. For the remainder, I have a bunch of boring, unsexy homeowner type answers. Although, getting a hot tub could be sexy
