Austin was visiting New York when I stopped him on 7th Avenue right in front of the
Fuse studio.
He offered up this sleeve on his left arm:
This was inked by
Amanda Grace at
Truth and Triumph Tattoos. She now works at
Smartbomb Tattoo. Both shops are in Dayton, Ohio.
The playing cards are a tribute to his grandmother, who was a card player. She also tended roses, so these flowers also pay homage to her.
Of the other elements, Austin says he just likes skulls, artistically. Also, the words "Never Again" are there to remind him to remain strong his sobriety, and not to go down that same road of dependency.
I appreciate Austin stopping and chatting with me, and thank him for his forthrightness, and for sharing his tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
