So I knew what commercial projects paid and tattooing is way harder than those jobs . And tattooing was one third of the money . And I was like , man , if I do anything , I'm gonna change that , I'm gonna give the artist in LA a raise , you know , growing up in L A , I've been inspired by so many different people , so many different ethnicities and we all kind of borrow from each other .
You know , they walk in one way , they leave better tattoo and fresh fade . Being that I'm 51 years old , I'm not gonna be tattooing forever . You know what I mean ?
And you're watching L A review when I look back and I'm thinking , you know , what , what impact did I make in L A or what did I do here ? You know , I probably contributed something to making tattooing high end . Uh When I got in a lot of the tattoos , they weren't making what they deserve .

I take this experience and the tattoos and all the street culture and that's the heaviest influence in my art . Hey , I might be doing something for say vans or Levi's or some major company .
