I pretty much love every inch of my skin for different reasons, but I love my back because I've been waiting for 17 years to get it done, and it's come out exactly as I wanted it.
I was 16 and got a small lizard on my hip. My parents asked, how would I ever get a job?
I'm loving how [the tattoos] change as my body gets older and the creases and wrinkles change how they look.
What age do I think I'll stop getting inked ? Never.
I love my tattoos – if you don't like them, don't look at them. Who cares how I'll feel when I'm old?
My first tattoo was at 13 and was a secret for 10 years. It's a part of me and I am not going to get old.
I don't feel my opinion will change on my tattoos. I doubt I'll have any regrets regardless of my age.
I'm beyond the stopping point now. It fucking hurts like shit, man, but I wouldn't change my look for the world.
I love being different, and every day I'm asked about them at least once, always getting a positive reaction. Good tattoos aren't cheap, cheap tattoos are not good."
I love my tattoos – it's a way of life for me and I'll carry on getting them for as long as I can.
My Kiss tattoos are my favourites – the pain was incredible but it feels good to show my ultimate dedication to the band.
