I saw them healed after; rolling jiu-jitsu, having 3 dogs, training, 4 kids, finite tech work…they healed perfectly 😂

Really fun project. I’ve got a few more I’m drawing up for the future:)

Really fun piece on a great client. More stuff down the neck in the future:)

Really great time tattooing this little dude. He’s my spirit animal.

Instagram @tattoosbymattwear thanks for looking:)

So I wake up after pounding beers and watching Van Halen videos on YouTube to a message from my machine builder buddy saying “cool, I’ll send you progress pics!” Apparently in my turn up I had put down a deposit for a tattoo machine made to look like Eddie Van Halen’s guitar. I didn’t have the money at the time. But a deals a deal. So later on that life, I’m tattooing a sabertooth tiger on my buddy James Schultz, owner of “the guitar store” in seattle. James gets an idea, and calls Eddie’s publicist to ask if he painted the outside of his store in those colors, if any copyright stuff would ensue. So he’s on the phone with the publicist, and she goes

“Would you like to talk to Eddie?”

Does the pope shit in his hat?!?!

So Eddie gets on and is like “sounds nice, do you want me to pay for half of it?”

Short story long. Don’t second guess your nonsense. It might get someone’s business painted.

We miss you Edward!
