Congrats to the @blackdot_tattoo team on the smooth execution, and a massive thank you to @kevinrose for being at the front of the queue to embrace a new medium for me and a new way of creating tattoos. There's a lot of pressure when your work is going on someone's body, so it felt fantastic to see how nicely the tattoo came out at the end of the day.

[Kevin Rose @kevinrose]

Wonderful day w/ @tylerxhobbs and his team. I sat for 8hrs today getting one of his tattoos via a new machine from @blackdot_tattoo, the ENTIRE time he sat by my side, kind, caring, chatting, being Tyler, what a wonderful human and artist, honored to have one of his generative tattoos, pics coming soon.
