It's not always the style of tattooing but the rather the subject matter that drives me. I love tattooing anything from mythology to comic book superheroes.
The universality of tattooing is a curious subject for speculation.
I love comic books, comic book characters and superheroes.
I've always hated superheroes. I cannot stand them. I love Norse mythology, but I hate superheroes. They ruined movies, then comics, and now games.
I'm very superstitious, and I think it's bad luck. You don't have to show your love by tattooing it.
I was always into different stuff: custom cars, electrical, construction, tattooing, decor, you name it.
It may be that a majority of superheroes are white males. But that's because they used to all be white males, except for Wonder Woman and Black Canary and maybe one or two others. Now there are Spanish, Puerto Rican comic book superheroes, black superheroes, and women superheroes.
Tattooing is historical, cultural and a great form of art but it should always be safe for both the client and the tattoo practitioner.
I'm not the hugest comic book person, but I do love superheroes.
Painting and tattooing the body is a return to animalism.
There are always a lot of jokes and good vibes floating through the studio so tattooing all day doesn't feel like a job. It's rewarding to see my clients as excited as I am.
The way he kissed me felt like a brand. Like he was tattooing himself under my skin.
When I came into the game, my influence was so heavy in the States and overseas people was painting murals of me, people tattooing me on them.
I don't have one specific tattooing specialty. I enjoy doing full-color new school, portraits, neo-traditional, realistic, black and gray, ultra detailed art, etc... but always custom.
Obviously, I love superheroes; I love comic book characters, but I... I guess I've had a lifelong affection for comics, and while I love the characters so much, I also love the medium.
He's this amazing ambassador for all superheroes. What we've made as a film not only examines that but is also an amazing adventure story. It's been an honor to work on. As a comic book fan, Superman is like the Rosetta Stone of all superheroes.
The act of tattooing one's skin was a tranformative declaration of power, an announcment to the world: I am in control of my own flesh.
