Maya Tattoo posted 28 June 2008

This was a tattoo I designed for my friends Armin Vit and Bryony Gomez-Palacio, with the name of their first-born, Maya. It was a gift, in lieu of rattles or a stuffed toy.

I know what you’re thinking: will I do this for you? Sorry, No. Not unless you’re a friend of mine or you have gobs of cash. That may sound strange, but let’s just pretend I’m Joni Mitchell: “I play if you have the money or if you’re a friend to me …” Tattoos are very personal, so I either need to know you, or thousands of dollars need to lubricate the pain of a client-gets-what-client-wants job. Know what I mean?

Not that there was any pain in this on my part: that’s love for ya.
