INKEDblog Interview - "Nick"
Nick
22
Fashion Designer
Toronto
INKEDblog: What's your favorite tattoo?
Nick: The green snowflake behind my ear. Atomic winter!”
INKEDblog: Why'd you get it?
Nick: My best friend used to include them in all of her paintings and I just wanted to have it on me.”
INKEDblog: What was your first tattoo?
Nick: Oh embarrass much! A star on the back of my neck. I was a raver and 16 years old. Need I say more?”
INKEDblog: How many tat's do you have?
Nick: 5 and a half-sleeve.
INKEDblog: What's the worst tattoo you've ever seen?
Nick: Oh man, I’ve seen a lot of bad tattoos – dolphins on ankles, crooked nautical stars, home poked things... but I really do hate tribal the most.
INKEDblog: What do your tat's signify to you?
Nick: Some of them have meaning, like childhood stuff, but most of them are really just things I think are rad.
INKEDblog: What's the meaning behind your latest piece (your half sleeve)?
Nick: I love the art nouveau style. There are a lot of significant meanings to the swan. Beautiful and dangerous; the swan dress; but mostly I like it because of ugly duckling syndrome.
INKEDblog: How long did it take you to think of the design?
Nick: I asked my tattoo artist (who happens to be my best friend) if she would draw out a swan half-sleeve for me. Two days later, I saw the drawing and fell in love.
INKEDblog: In 30 years when you look at all your ink, how do you think you'll feel?
Nick: I think I'll remember good times from when I was young.
INKEDblog: Anything that you'll regret?
Nick: I doubt it. They're just part of my skin.
INKEDblog: What are you getting next?
Nick: I’m either extending the half-sleeve or outlining the Holy Grail for my chest… I haven't really decided yet.
