My relationship with tattoos began in 2000. I went, like so many, wanting to make a single tattoo. The course then evolved differently and now I have only few points on me lefts without ink. For the most part the desings I have are personal choices as these matters been reflected are according to my experiences. They have been created in consultation with Tolis from Eightball, who is the only one that has ever tattooed me. A characteristic story about my tattoos... Every time I entered the ring for kick boxing fights, they did humor saying you should take off your “shirt."
