I met Matt one afternoon as he stood among the masses at the southwest corner of Madison Square Garden, waiting for a bus out of town.
This is his tattoo which he shared with us, covering his upper right arm:
The message is simple: silence is golden. I love how the side skulls spill off of the front skull, and how the teeth of the primary jaw are fused together.
Matt attributes this piece to "deep life experiences" and how it serves as a reminder to keep his head on straight.
He told me he's "been low and wants to stay higher" and that "keeping what I've done to myself has given me the ability to achieve what I have in life".
This tattoo was inked by Loki M. LaChapelle when he was at
Kaleidoscope Tattoo & Art Gallery in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Loki now works out of
Mazel Custom Tattoo & Piercing in Everett, Massachusetts.
Thanks to Matt for sharing his tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
