What a cool guy with such a great attitude on tattooing. His clients are very lucky!

Good interview

I respect the belief in dragons. Really cool interview, he seems like an awesome person. Great work from him.
I appreciate your videos and book as I try to explore history and motifs more. Trying to settle on an artist to start a body suit journey, but I'll be taking my time to choose the right person (but also reasonable travel/cost wise). It's tough when there's so many good people out there!
