Archive for SB-1′s TattoosSB-1 in InkSB-1 Logo: My favorite logo, and it’s going to be on my brand new wrestling pants. I drew it and got it in April 2006 in Garland, TX. It’s positioned on the back of my neck above th Hitman logo, symbolizing how I’ve “made it” into the wrestling world. In a general way, I’m in the same VERY GENERAL category as Bret Hart. And one day, SB-1 will be as reknowned as the Hitman himself.
Funeral of Hearts TattooFuneral of Hearts: It’s inspired by the HIM song on “Love Metal”. One of their best tracks! It was actually part of a 2-D design class at the Art Institute of Dallas. Our assignment was to listen to a song and let the lyrics/music guide us. All abstract, and lots of fun! Anyway, I liked the design so much I got it tattooed in December 2005.
Wrestling Rock StarRock star: Should’ve been a rock star, man!! I call this my “rock star” tat because that’s what I think of when I look at it. I drew it the same weekend I drew the bat, and also got it in May 2005. It’s my fourth “113″ tattoo.
Evil Clock InkEvil clock: One of my absolute favorites. It’s always 1:13 on my watch, man! I drew it in August 2005 and got it the same month. This is my fifth 113 tattoo.
113 BatBat: My third “113″ tattoo. I drew it in April 2005 at my girlfriend’s apartment. The influences here are Bam Margera and Ville Valo (HIM) with their matching heartagram tattoos below their navels. I thought it was an awesome place for a tattoo, and I’ve always loved bats. No, Batman was not the inspiration for it, but he is my favorite superhero, and I suppose on some unconscious level he might have been the inspiration. At any rate, I got it back at Ft. Hood in May 2005. It hurt like hell, and was probably the most painful one.
Heard it on the XX: The four symbols evolved from a Soulfly song on their 3rd album, where Max (Cavalera, singer) screams, “heart/fist/soul/mind!” I loved the words and connotations, and decided to draw symbols for each rather than getting words tattooed on me. I drew this during my first month at Ft. Hood in January 2004, and got it tattooed one month before going to Iraq AGAIN in March. The red “x” is one of the most recognizable tats I have, and is even the prototype for the logo on my wrestling pants. The meaning behind the “x” itself is personal. I’ve only told one person what it means and don’t intend to tell anyone else.
The Pumpkin KingPumpkin: I’ve always loved Halloween and it’s imagery, especially Jack-o-Lanterns. What I did was concoct my own wicked pumpkin and invert my 3rd COSCOM unit patch into a background. I got this in Germany in November 2003. I drew it in Iraq that summer. (note: the three arrows stand for the three different methods of transportation: land, sea, and air. I was a transporter in the Army)
Eyeballs and InkI drew this during a field exercise in Hohenfels, Germany, in the summer of 2002, then got it in November 2003. If you look closely at the veins, you’ll see the old “Brood” logo. (Remember? Gangrel, Edge, and Christian??) I didn’t intend for it to be a tattoo when I drew it, but fell in love with it anyway.
Scorpion TattooScorpion: Like my OEF tattoo, this was the graphic to represent my second tour of Iraq (March 04-05). Unlike the OEF, though, only I got this. It’s got my lucky number, 113, written in Arabic and modified to be the scorpion’s upper body and arms. I got it when I got back to Ft. Hood in March 2005. It hurt worse than the OEF above it. This might have been the most painful one.
