I started getting tattooed in 1992-93. Young and brainless as I was at the time, my first tattoos were thoughtless without much of a meaning. In 1995 I stumbled upon Mike the Athens and we began the cover up irezumi… I was saved! We spent a lot of time together due to the long tattoo sessions and we became close friends. With Tio (Mike) we spent two seasons in Ibiza. That’s where I met Neil (Inkadelic). He also did his work on me and finally I was taken over by Yorg and I was saved again. Thanks boys! I continue to get tattooed by Mike and Yorg.
