@tattoo_matt: Please read ⬇️🙏 24 hours over 3 days at the @Villain Arts Tattoo Festivals Philadelphia. I poured my heart and soul into this piece. And I’m so grateful to my client and friend, Cody, who not only gave me full creative freedom on his leg, but also sat like an absolute champion for 3 consecutive days!! This is not for the weak! Honestly, this was a weird convention for me. This was my first time back on the road since March of last year. Having just lost my local friend @Andrew Fitzgerald to a heart attack in the weeks leading up to coming here, this city doesn’t feel the same. Then navigating through the absolute chaos from the sheer size of this show, and being hot and cramped in a small corner while trying to execute the best tattoo I’ve ever done… was just tough. But we did it! Huge thanks to my wiiiife @Your Mom for being my absolute rock! Couldn’t have done this without you baby. And thank you to my sponsors @H2Ocean @Tattoo Wipes @Ink Maps @jconly_official @PainfulPleasures Philadelphia, I don’t know if I will be back. Time will have to be the judge of that. But for now, thank you again for having me. This city will always hold a special place in my heart. And if you read this far, please leave a 🫡 in the comments so I know to personally thank you too. So much love 🫶
