Tattoo me, tattoo you ...

I love the folks over at Tattoo Mania. They blessed my body with my first fantastically awesome tattoo 5 years ago, and now they have completed my collection with my second one.

A tattoo is a very personal thing - I hate to state the obvious, but with so many people getting them for frivolous reasons, we've almost become desensitized. The trust factor is huge. This person is putting this on your body FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. Ever seen a tat that has been lasered off? Yeah, it never really goes away.

I livestreamed the entire tattoo, but if you missed it - I very literally said to my tattoo god, Osh, do what you do best. This is approximately the size I want, but I trust that you will know what to do best. Remember, we may think we know what we want, but as far as execution is concerned, the experts really need to step in. Can you imagine going up to someone that you just met - say that, and then have them go to town with an image that will be on your body for the rest of your life?! That my friends is trust!

These guys are just cool as shit! And no, I haven't been paid a dime for an endorsement - I paid full price for my tattoo ... you guys know the drill. I just dig people that love what they do and are so passionate about it!! They took amazing care of me, we had a hell of a time, and my tattoo looks GREAT!

Live life on an even playing field folks. I may have thought I knew what would look best for my tattoo, but I trusted the expert - and left the rest up to him. The less you try to control in life, the cooler things end up being - and oddly much less stressful.

If you're in LA, go say hi to Rocco, Mike, Osh, Liz, and the whollleeee crew over there. Cool. @ss. MoFos.
