exactly what I had to say.
Okay.
He puts on that little weiner smile, so.
And there’s that weiner word, but originally…
You know, he just puts on that little dancing monkey routine the whole world eats it up,
I’m alright, go for it you know?
So are you gonna stay in Vegas?
Yeah, I’m opening a new shop first weekend of June, we’ve called it Basilica and I’m
opening it with Vick Vivid, who is one of the best tattooers in the region. He’s a complete beast.
Vegas is becoming a hell of a tattoo town as far as artists go.
Wait till you see this new shop, I’ll tell you what, it’s awesome, and it’s not gonna be
some corporate megashop, I wanted to get away from that. Me, Vick and our wives are
in there every day building this place by hand but the shop itself is gonna be a work of
art, the way a shop should be, not paying some designer to set it up for us. We’re doing it the way it’s supposed to be done. I’m very proud of it.
That’s great. Do you know King Ruck?
No, never met him. I think there’s 5 of us in this town, but never had the pleasure of

Yea, I’ve heard good things about him. I see Cleen once in a while, I like Cleen a lot.
I’m gonna get my revenge tattoo. I’m gonna get the word Revenge tattooed on me,
but the best revenge is just go out and kick everybody’s ass doing the best tattoos you
can, you know.
Let’s get back to the show for a little while. In the beginning the alliance was really working. Do you think it kinda turned on you towards the end?
No, I made it to the finale and one of us won, you know what I mean, Anthony and I
made it the entire way so it worked fabulously and set a precedent for future people.
I think it changed the game a little.
Yea, I think so as well. I think it was very… it’s not coincidental two guys that worked
together the entire time were the two guys standing on stage at the end.
Do you think Megan Jean hurt you guys, or hurt herself or had no impact?
I don’t think she hurt us too much, you know, I think she helped Cleen out which ultimately hurt us, there maybe could have been a different outcome but all in all I think
the 3 of us were the strongest anyway. And to tell you the truth the alliance, me and
