Tribute In Ink, In Memory of Russ

“One of my sisters, it was her long-time boyfriend, and he passed away in a motocross accident. We had known him probably fifteen years, and they were together quite a long time—freshmen in high school to sophomores or juniors in college.”

“It was just a design I liked, and I had drawn it up probably about a hundred times on myself with markers and whatnot, and when that happened, I figured, y’know, I never knew what cards to put in the hand, and these spelled out his name.”
