I’m really not a fan of this tattoo, but if you like it, more power to you.

Why in the hell would you pull the scab off? Especially after specifically being told not to?

“Anchors Aweigh” by Bouncing Souls

I already sent an email to Chris Garver on a price quote for a piece. Chris Garver all the way!
