True Dedication, a Rolex Tattoo!

Just wanted to show off my dedication to R O L E X,,

I'm a Sound Designer and Recording Engineer so this is a piece I designed myself that incorporates a lot about who I am.

It's not a major aspect but I worked the Rolex crown into it! The bottom of the tattoo is fresh in that picture (2 part tattoo session) hence the difference in the shades of black. It evened out after a week, no picture of it healed yet.

I'm sure there are others out there with some Rolex love inked on them?

Lets see them!

I like your tattoo and you have given me thoughts about a new tattoo for me to consider!!! I have 32 tattoos which cover my interests and plan on getting more. I enjoy bicycling and have bicycles inside chainrings on my calf muscles to represent a racing and mountain bike!!!

Nice tat!

FYI if you're ever on the east coast of the USA cover that crown up - it's the traditional tat for the LATING KINGs gang. Not exactly like theirs but I don't think latin king rivals are that discerning.

Nice, but I would be concerned about the wearing a tat that could be mistaken as a Latin Kings gang sign.

Nope, East Coast & as far in as Chicago. Latin kings are predominantly a Puerto Rican gang based in the NY NJ states.

But yes I AM on the west coast with a whole different group of young church going guys

wow I just realized those are mics in the background....even cooler

Yes the back ground has two vintage RCA microphones, nothing sounds as good as them!

And I'm not worried about krips, bloods, latin kings or anybody for that matter. Not many of them in toronto that I know of.. On top of that, I don't walk around sleeveless. I lack the mullet to pull that off haha

Thanks for the heads up though! I'll be sure to keep it covered on my U.S. trips.

The first session was short, only two hours and that was just my name with the crown over it and some out lines. The second session was everything else which was 6 hours of "kittens licking my arm" haha well worth it though.

p.s. the tattoo artist's name is John Wayne (no lie) www.beestingtattoo.com he's one of the most sought after from windsor-toronto.
