ner with my dad and he said “ Look at all the pain you went through , and you ’ ve helped kids who were gonna commit suicide , you have people calling you in times of need from all over the world , you ’ ve had people give you their medals of war and say thank you , and if you could get one kid to get off that couch why wouldn ’ t you go back for just 2 months ?” It made me think about the 10 years I sat in a little room in my parent ’ s house and couldn ’ t go to the front door , and thought I have to do it . I was the biggest winner on Ink Master no matter what because I didn ’ t fly for 25 years and now I fly , I go on dates , I do things and have a life . I don ’ t give a fuck about the money or nothing . I didn ’ t even care if I won but check it out , I won . It was like a Seabiscuit story . So I thought “ I ’ m gonna go as the underdog now ” and I gave them that because I wanted to influence people and anyone who doesn ’ t get that are people who are just bullies online anyway . I hope I remind myself of that when I ’ m feeling down .
One last quick question . What ’ s the most important tattoo you ’ ve ever done or got ?
