Yea, that sucks. I got
in trouble with the
producers because I
listen to a lot of really
bad pop music from
the 80’s and movie
soundtracks and I start-
ed humming songs and
they would come over
and say “you’ve gotta
stop that” and I was
“What?” They don’t
want to be sued for you
humming something
that they would have
to pay royalties on.
So I would make up
my own and they would stop that because they didn’t want to risk it. In
the long run it helped me focus a little more on what I was doing. Time
restraints were hard because I’m a slow ass tattooer. A ticking clock over
your shoulder is never fun. By the 3rd tattoo we got it down to a science.
Derek would start and he would do the fast passes because he’s quicker
and then I would come in and shape up and beef up things so we got a
routine going with that.
Anything special you have coming up or out?
Yea, I cant say much about it but I have a color set coming up towards the
end of the year with World Famous. I’m working with a guy who does de-
signer toys so I’m doing a line of figures so that’s cool. I’ll be doing some
new prints, I’ll be doing Tommy’s Convention in CT with you guys and I
think the Aviation one with World Famous so I’m keeping busy and spend-
ing time with the family.
