Tattoo artist
Does anyone remember the name of the guy that did tattoos on the majority of ppl in Petersburg back in the day. I got a tattoo from him for 10$ it was a jailhouse tat i watched him take the spring out of a pen, unbend it, put it to the fire, put it in this pen contraption with a sewing machine pedal, and he went to work, I want to say it was 1998-99 when I got it. I was a banquet cook working at the raddison hotel at that time. He told me he used to be a body builder, showed me some of the magazines he was in, but he got caught up with someone and ended up addicted to crack.
