Scratching the...

This is my friend Miki Foged’s blog. He’s an amazing tattoo artist and an all around great guy. Miki has tattooed many of my close friends and family however he hasn’t tattooed me. Sure, we’ve talked about it and have known the day would come eventually. Well, that day may be coming very soon. Miki came over and hung out w/ us a few nights ago. After great conversation we...
