Hey, sounded like a good idea in the office. Nah, I'm not ready to tackle that stone yet. Believe it or not, I don't have a very high pain tolerance. I can sit there and take it if somebody's dishing it out, but I don't know if I could do it myself. I try to make all of it original.
People appreciate that, because it makes it more personal.
I try to take a little bit of who they are and put it in the piece. A lot of people don't even care what I do. Creative control is pretty much what every tattoo artists wants. Oh man, I don't even ask anymore. People get some stupid stuff.
