I am an InkAddict. This is my story.

InkAddict: “What was your first tattoo?”

Devin: “My first tattoo, was a portrait of my horse Magic. Back then I had the mentality of “only get something with meaning”. And I couldn’t think of anything more meaningful than the horse that got me through the woes of teen angst. I’ve totally ditched that ideal though, get a tattoo because it has meaning. Get a tattoo because it looks cool. Get a tattoo because it’s stupid. Who cares, just get the tattoo.”

InkAddict: “What made you decide to get into tattoos?”

Devin: “I’ve wanted ink since I was a kid. Growing up my mom, dad, even my grandma had tattoos. It was just something I knew was inevitable. I like decorating my temple, just call me the Sistine Chapel, this body was made for art.”

InkAddict: “What is one thing you would like to say to the InkAddict community?”

Devin: “If there was something I could say to the ink community it would be, keep gatekeeping. I like the close-knit group we have here. I’m kidding, but there is nothing better than going out in public and seeing my fellow Ink Addict(ed) family and feeling a great sense of belonging. We are the best knuckleheads in existence, and I believe that wholeheartedly.”
