B yvshy rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist of the rock band  My Chemical Romance  Frank Iero was back in Russia - this time with a tour in support of his solo project  Frnk Iero And of The Cellabration . Iero is the owner of a very vivid image (no wonder he was called "the sexiest vegetarian on the planet"), an integral part of which is a lot (no one knows the exact number) of non-trivial tattoos. Especially for  Rolling Stone,  on the eve of his Moscow concert, the guitarist spoke about what tattoos mean to him and demonstrated his favorite ones.

Wikipedia says you have twenty-one tattoos. It's true? I stopped counting a long time ago, but there are definitely more of them. I would say that there are twenty-one on at least one side of the body.

What advice would you give to someone who still does not have a single tattoo, he really wants to get one, but does not know which drawing and technique to choose? In this case, you shouldn't do anything. If you're not sure, it's best to wait. You must know exactly what you want to fill and what this drawing will mean for you.

Does every tattoo have to have a meaning? For me, yes. Each tattoo symbolizes something important in life. Tattoos for me are not just a body decor, this is an album or, if you like, my personal diary. These are a kind of scars that I deliberately inflict on myself in order to remember all the regrets, life lessons and those feelings that I experienced at one time or another in my life.

Have you ever interrupted tattoos? Yes, many times. For example, those on the chest - he corrected and interrupted the images.

Have you ever had to hide your tattoos from prying eyes? No never. What is the point of getting tattoos if you will be ashamed of them later?

There are many biases about tattoos. For example, that, having them, it will be difficult to find a decent, decent job. I cannot judge, I am not an expert in this. I've never had a decent job in my life, I'm a musician!
