Go-to music type or band?
Depending on my mood but old-time stuff. Right
now, Robert Wilkins. The Rolling Stones took a lot of songs from him.
What got you into art?
What got me into tattooing - dropped out of
school and was getting a lot of work at that time, so it made sense to do it when the
opportunity came up.

It
changes day to day, but I would say Walt Disney, not only an artist but a visionary.
