Musician Monday: A Trio of Tattoos from Justin Y. of Everyone Dies in Utah


 Back in May, I met Justin in the Borders at Penn Plaza and he shared his three tattoos. Justin had recently been signed to a band from Texas called Everyone Dies in Utah and he was moving out from Maryland. He offered up his knuckle tattoos:


Justin has been playing drums for about eleven years and loves drums, which explains these knuckles. Of course, I would be remiss if I mentioned knuckle tattoos and didn't direct you to KnuckleTattoos.com to see more, courtesy of my friend Nathan.
The most compelling tattoo Justin shared was this piece, on his right forearm:


He explained:

"I have a little sister, she's ten now, but it was last year, so she was nine, and she was all bummed that I was moving really far and touring and stuff, so I told her I would get a tattoo for her ... I was trying to think of what would be absolutely unique, and the only thing I could think of was fingerprints. So, I decided it would be cool to get her hand print, so I went out and got a big old ink pad and did her hand print on a piece of paper, took it in, and he [Jason Kramer at Positive Image Tattoos in Baltimore] did all of his magic and got it done."

Justin's third tattoo was this piece on his left forearm:


He told me
"I love Jesus ... simple as that. I was thinking about doing a whole arm, faith-based kind of thing, and I ike the ides of just being able to walk into a room and people know exactly like, well, that guy's definitely a Christina and he's for serious ... It's a good starting piece to talk to people."
All of Justin's work is by Jason Kramer at Positive Image Tattoos in Baltimore.

Thanks to Justin for sharing his cool ink with us here on Tattoosday!

FREE "Friends & Family" Tattoos

Yesterday was the last day of my "Friends & Family" Free Tattoo weekend...I tattooed Kevin, Samba, Dada, Rashaad, India, and Samad & Aaliyah last night.... If my mother can make it down I might tattoo her tomorrow or Tuesday....I wasn't in "freehand" mood lastnight... I wanted to create the design on paper first.... I never use stencils when I tattoo not even for my own designs... But I wanted those last tattoos to feel like I was back in the 90's again.... I been working on this square frame style for a sec....i'm almost ready to share it with the world
