What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I was a heroin addict for twenty years and before I got clean in prison the last five years of my sentence I got DOPE and SICK on my knuckles. I have been sober five years now and I am writing a book about my life but my knuckles was my last tattoo and they speak volumes and are a story of themselves. My cellmate in solitary confinement did the work with a contraband gun we managed to build and burned our own ink. I went to prison for drug trafficking not for anything crazy or violent btw

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It is a roadmap of my life and evolution. Some of my tattoos were done by people that were dear to me just for memories sake and others were done for self expression. Some were done to advertise my status or rank, while others were just because I thought it was cool. One is simply my nickname HOOLIGAN on the whole length of my arm. Lastly, a few of them stand as a warning label to my adversaries so they know that I am to be taken seriously. If they could talk it would be a story without an end

What would you do with the $25,000?

What wouldn’t I do with $25,000, I would probably start a business building custom motorcycles. Probably buy recording equipment to produce my music and make an actual album.
