It was like actually a passion of mine right alongside music back in high school. I graduated in ‘88, so nobody I knew in high school was tattooed except for this older kid, Brad, who I ended up being in my first punk band with. He was a little bit of a mentor to Pete [Steinkopf, Bouncing Souls guitarist], Greg [Attonito, Bouncing Souls singer], and myself. He got a tattoo, and I was like “Wow!” So I got a tattoo pretty much as soon as I turned 18.
Around the time of the band’s 20th anniversary, we decided to pump the brakes on touring as much, because we were living on the road for years and years and years. There was no room for anything else to happen. I don’t regret a second of that. But as soon as we slowed down a little bit, I knew that was my chance to focus on tattooing and really dive all the way into the deep end.
