Joe Bonin

My American Traditional tattoos are memories from my childhood in the '60s. My black and grey tattoos are about good, evil, love, and loss.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Matt Howse is a favorite. When I was in CA, I asked him to create something he had always wanted to do and include his signature shark in the design. A tattoo is art, and while some have deep meaning and significance, others can be enjoyed for their beauty alone.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I have lived a good life, with success and failure as lessons to be learned: love, found and lost; life is what you make it, and change is constant.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Travel and get several tattoos from artists outside the United States.
