Badass tattoo artist moment

Never, I’m always learning, i don’t think i’m better than anyone and i don’t think i’m ever going to be completely satisfied,

what have you tattooed the most of?

Hearts, names and religious things

My last tattoo was of a outline of a heart, cut open and bleeding, traditional work actually, bleeding into roses.

Tattoo you’ll never forget.
