I think 12 hours. That was for the Cadillac script going down my ribcage. It was actually a day where I was pissed off. So I kinda wanted it. The guy asked if I was sure it’s a big one, with big bold black letters and lots of shading. All my ribcage bled. But it was fun. Those days where you’re pissed, it’s 12 hours to sit there, keep your cool and have someone else hurt you.”

This tattoo is inked by the tattoo artist, Franco Vescovi.

The boom box on my stomach is because I grew up loving to break-dance and I collected ghetto blasters. I had like 20 of them. Everyone else would go buy candy and I would buy boom boxes and carry them around and break-dance on the street corner on a piece of cardboard. So I got my favorite boom box when I was 21.”
