I was recently asked to shoot a photo of my own back for an up and coming compilation CD “Massachusetts is a Coffin V.2”.Here is my back and the photo to be used.
My Back Was Done By Dan Banai at
Right Coast Tattoos In Ship Bottom New Jersey.
all the work on my arm is By Mitch Perkins at
Atlantic Tattoo In Manahawkin New jersey.
This is a drawing I did of an Eels lyric. This comes from the song, “PS, You Rock My World” off the record, Electro-shock Blues. This means the absolute world to me because this record is all about loss and wrangling with emotions in regards to loss… and the very last lyric of a record all about death is “MAYBE IT’S TIME TO LIVE”. This is something I need to keep with me everyday. This is something I need to remember when I think of passed relatives/friends/opportunities. My job here is to live. This tattoo was done at Atomic Tattoo in Austin, TX. The bird is a Chickadee, which is the Massachusetts state bird. Being from Mass and a huge Eels fan, this tattoo is my absolute favorite piece out of all of mine.
this is the start of my massachusetts-themed full sleeve. this cute critter is a right whale named norbert. done by alastair cameron-hodges.
