He immediately infused me with traditional values in terms of machine building and tattoo history. I vividly remember him asking me about Coleman one day, and when I didn’t know who that was, he got so upset he literally walked away mid-conversation. “A generation of tattooers who don’t know Coleman… it finally happened,” he said.
