Pretty sure I lucked out on my tattoo mentor. Other apprentices would be jealous.
Calls himself “mostly straight”. Wore a shirt that says “OPENLY GRAY” (he has gray hair)
Saw a photo from him in like 2010 wearing a pro trans rights shirt
Very passionate about the “you can’t tattoo dark skin” argument in that it’s “a fuckin’ skill issue”
We’re allowed to kick anyone out of the shop for being an asshole
Staunchly against tattoo machismo and the shop is about to be a 2:1 ratio of women to men. Which he’s overjoyed about
Moshes in the middle of the shop. To the B-52’s
Constantly sneak attacked by one of our artists with a spray bottle who is half his age (and height)
Returned later with a video of a squirt gun hooked up to a power washer and told them “you don’t want this smoke”
Said yes to a kink tattoo requested by a gay bear and his sub
Says gay bars are his favorite bars
Constantly talks about his wife and how smart she is
Smoked a bowl before sitting down to give me an art critique. Is amazing at it
Huge Fallout and Elder Scrolls nerd
Gave me $400+ worth of Frazetta art books from the 1980’s bc we’re both huge fans
Sent me a news article of a supposed UFO sighting and said verbatim it’s “twiangle shaped”
