Every BODY Has A Story - Justin Slootsky
"My tattoo of the Wild Things is currently in progress. I think I am Max. I go out and act like a wild thing, and do the Wild Rumpus all night, but then want to come back home to my comfortable bed when it is all done. It is wonderful to have art that people recognize and reminds them of their own childhood."
You can follow Justin's Wild Things Tattoo as it goes from start to finish here.
Justin on what makes a tatto sexy:
"I cannot comment on what makes a tatto sexy on a man, but I can talk about sexy tattoos on women. If a tattoo makes me look closer, or attracts me to a particular part of someone's shape, or if it disappears beneath clothing, and makes you wonder what goes on behind the cloth, I find it sexy. Generally, coloured tattoos look better on women than black only tattoos. Men can often pull off a black & white tattoo and it makes them look tough, but that same "tough" look on a woman usually does not (in my opinion) look pretty.
Justin's tips for someone who's getting their first tat:
Think. Think of 2 years from now, 5 years from now, 20 years from now. Are you going to be happy with this? Is this a passing interest, or something that is going to hold your interest for years to come? When you choose your placement, are you going to be able to cover it easily, are you going to need to cover it? Who are you going to want to see it? Don't put it too close to private places if you are going to want to show it off to everybody.
Justin's favorite tattoo of all time?
My wife got a wonderful looking ruby slipper tattooed on her ankle. She is a huge Wizard of Oz fan, and the colours of the tattoo were so bright and vibrant. I think it was one of the first gorgeous tattoos that I'd seen on a woman.
