What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My clients inspirations vary from meaningful to gap filler. But the most recent one on myself has personal meaning .I’m a huge Star Wars fan/toy collector. I have been for over 30 years now. I recently got a portrait done by the famous Evin Olin of PowerLine tattoo in Rhode Island. The portrait is Darth Vader with his mask broken from the Obi Wan series. A few weeks after it was healed, I was able to meet Hayden Christiansen who played Anakin/Vader, and had him autograph the portrait.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It’d say I’ve been in the business too long lol. I have many different genres and styles . I like to take on a challenge so I never plateau as an artist. I personally like doing Japanese, new school and black and grey realism. So my artwork is all over the place.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d first pay off my debt and wedding hahaha. Then what’s ever left, just enjoy it or put the whole thing as down payment on a house
