My first tattoo was actually a bluebird that I drew when I was sixteen. I waited until the day I turned 18 to get it and drove from Newport News, VA [where I was in school at the time] back home to Richmond first thing in the morning on my birthday. I got it and its mirror image placed on my back as kind of the "anti-tramp stamp." I still love them very much to this day and they still reign as the only tattoos I have on my back. The rest of the space I'm reserving for a large back piece one day.

Once I finish my sleeve I have a couple tattoos I'm looking to get done. One of which is one of Sylvia Ji's Dia de los Muertos girls, and the other is an artistic freehand of a "freak magnet" that I'm letting my tattooist [Bexx Merritt at Loose Screw Tattoo in Richmond, VA] gfree reign to do as she pleases. That's how much I trust her as a tattoo artist; I know that I can let her do whatever she likes and I know not only will it be exactly what I want, it'll also be a million times better than I could have imagined.
