It took the artist 10 hours to finish the five-letter job, which Chase did in one sitting while in California. Chase doesn't deny it hurt. It hurts for a couple weeks. Cundiff knows the tattoos are just part of Chase's personality. I think it takes a strong-willed person to paint their body like that.
People can take it or leave it.
Chase was only 17 when he showed up at home with his first tattoo, a feather running down his right triceps as a symbol of his Native American heritage. Since then, Chase said he's been pigeonholed as a bad seed. He said he's learned to accept that much of society only accepts people at face value. Every tattoo I get means something to me. I guess it shows a part of the way I am, but you can't ever judge a book by its cover.
