A piece I did on my friend Jason. It is a memorial piece for his uncle who was big on the whole Southside Chicago Irish scene.

My first and only tattoo. Done in my mom’s handwriting, because she is the one person that’s been constant in my life. I’ve dealt with depression since 2010. With it located on the inside of my forearm I can always just look down and be reminded to hold on, life is worth living. Done by Luis Hernandez at his private tattoo shop.
Here’s my second and newest tattoo. It’s the Silvercup Studio sign in Long Island City in Queens. I’ve always been a big fan of signage, especially older signage and this is a great example of one. When I cross the Queensboro Bridge or ride the train, I usually pass it on the back side. I rarely see it from the front, so that’s why I had the tattoo done this way. Plus it reads forwards when I see it in the mirror.
The tattoo is done by Dan (Bones) Bonara from Twelve28 Tattoo in Williamsburg. Great guy and awesome work, as you can see here.
This is my second tattoo and I’m 100% positive it will always be the one with the most meaning to me. I’ve been struggling with finding trust in others around me and I’m continuing to define all that I am in life. I got “be true” in my handwriting to remind myself that I’M the person I’m creating, I’m the only person I need to impress and I never need to be anything less than true to myself.
