INKEDblog: Tell us the story behind your first tattoo. What was the tattoo of? Why did you get it? How old were you?

Carey: "My first tattoo, like most people, was pretty bad. It was a skull with flames behind it and it had my race number 111 incorporated into it.. I got it the day after my 18th birthday, so I was young and excited.. Since then I have covered it up, only because I was workin' on a full chest piece and didn't want to do my whole chest skulls!!"
