Tattoo Meanings
The Race Flag and Mom:
"The race flag on my neck is for the year of my favorite Cadillac. I got that three years ago. I also have Japanese flowers on the back of my neck. I don't even know what they look like, because I can't see back there."
 But I have a heart that says 'Mom' with the flowers."
Cadillac Emblem:
 "I got a Cadillac emblem when I was 21, because I collect Cadillacs. I don't drive any other cars."
Can I Say:
 " I have a Dag Nasty symbol. Thats a band I grew up listening to. And I have 'Can I Say' because its the name their first album."
Scarred heart, a microphone, dice, and Jesus:
"I have a scarred heart from when I was 19, because I was brought up Catholic. I also have a microphone, dice, and Jesus. I figured if I tattooed Jesus on me, good things would happen, or maybe he'd have my back or something."
The Boom Box:
 "The boom box on my stomach is because I grew up loving to break-dance, and I collected ghetto blasters. I had like 20 of them. Everyone else would go buy candy and I would buy boom boxes and carry them around and break-dance on the street corner on a piece of cardboard. So I get my favorite boom box that lasted the longest, up until the time I was 19 or 20, tattooed on me when I was 21."
Bones:
"My first tattoo was the word "Bones" on my leg. I got it when I was 17, because it was my nickname when I was a kid."
Familia, Bird, Flowers, and Self Made:
"I got 'familia' tattooed on my arm when I was 20, which is obviously for my family. I have a bird that I just got for the hell of it. It was a good-looking bird. Then I was in Denver and I was bored and wanted to get tattooed to finish my arm up. So I just went into this shop and this guy buys me that [flower on his arm]. He specialized in tulips. I'm not a flower guy, but it's an honor to get a tattoo from him, because he won't even tattoo you if he doesn't like you."
 "And I have 'self-made' on my knuckles from 2000, because I've worked for everything I have. I don't really have anyone to thank for my hand through it all, and making me what I am."
Trucker ladies, spark plugs, and hope:
 "I have trucker ladies on my chest from when I was 22. I kind of like 'white-trash' art, just the whole style. I have spark plugs 'cause I'm into cars--there's like a holy one and an evil one.
 I have the word 'hope' written on my back. I got it when I was 19, because of the Descendent's song, but also as a positive thing after my mom passed away."
His lucky right arm:
"My right arm is like my good luck arm. It has everything-- a deck of cards, drumsticks, a martini glass, a dollar sign, my lucky number seven, my initials, and a rabbit's foot. I have a devil that was off of Black Label skateboards. I was into skateboarding when I was 22, so I got it. It healed really badly, but I refused to get it touched up. I don't want to touch up any of my stuff. It just looks rad."
