Durham, NC at Dogstar Tattoo on Ninth St.

3. Was anyone with you?

I wanna say either my manager Big Dho and/or my partner Big Pooh was with me.

4. What was the occasion?

We was fresh off that Atlantic advance money and was feelin ig'nant. Ah, the folly of youth.

Yep...turned out exactly the way I wanted.

7. Did it hurt?

Nah, it wasn't too bad....

The way I like to live my life. Harmony is a bunch of elements working together as one. That's an ideal that I try to apply in my everyday living.

I have 9 in all.

10. Do you want more tattoos?

I'm gonna get my sleeves finished, and then I'm done.
