If you have been following recently I have mentioned that New York Lives is doing a little video about me. After doing an interview they filmed me shooting a naked girl and taking some party photos.  But the one thing NY Lives was really interested was how I got so many people to get my logo tattooed to them.  If I am not mistaken it was 14 at last count.  So the only thing left before we could wrap the video is some footage of someone getting a Driven By Boredom tattoo.

I have had a number of people offer to get my tattoo recently, and they will all get there chance, but the one person I had in mind for the video was SB AKA Strictly Business from the band Rocky Business. I have known SB for a few years but at this years SXSW I had a chance to hang out with the band a lot and SB mentioned he would get the DBB tattoo. SB is a rad dude and I think his band is going to be huge so he seemed perfect for the video. What I didn’t realize is that this would be his first tattoo.

Normally my friend Jess does my DBB tattoos but she was totally booked and I am about to leave town for a while so I needed to find someone who could do it right away.  I reached out to my friend Betty Rose over at Red Rocket Tattoo who has tattooed me twice.  Betty is fucking awesome but it took some convincing to get her to do the tattoo for nearly free. Luckily I am a charming bastard and she loves pickles so I bought her off with a jar. And of course a plug… BETTY ROSE IS AMAZING AND YOU SHOULD GET HER TO TATTOO MAGIC INTO YOUR SKIN ASAP!

So yeah, SB got his first tattoo and DBB got it’s 15th.  Plus for some insane reason Betty and SB let me fill in a tiny bit of it. Plus the whole thing is on film so yeah, it was a pretty good day. The end.

And of course if you want to see more photos of Driven By Boredom tattoos click here. And if you want to get one yourself, let me know and I am sure we can work something out..
