Tattooing Began with the Brave.
Tattooing is not for the weak of mind body or spirit.
It was a rite of passage, a claim to one's identity.

all the way down to the in-your-face advertising trying to make you afraid
to be who you are just so they can make a dime off your conformity.
10,000 advertisements a day is enough to confuse anyone.

Everyone is a loner. Everyone's life is an epic journey full of tough battles.
Today everyone is fighting hard to be what they want to be in times of great strife.
Everyone is an artist. Even the Businessman picks out a tie every morning.
Sometimes the only space in our control is our own skin and bones.
Never before in the history of the world have so many people felt like they were left behind.
So give your tattoos the best, because in times like these, marking our skin might be one of the bravest things we can do.
Fight the good fight.
It's your life, its your skin. Fight the good fight.
It's your life, its your skin.
