I already had one tattoo. On my right leg, It's a corny tattoo, it's supposed to be a bulldog's head with an ear. I got it at a carnival. That's where I got my first ass whupping from my father. I was 14. My sisters ratted me out. Later  I thought, "He is right, that's pretty stupid," so I  got another one, from Sailor Eddy, and I thought "This balances me out." -- It's a skull wearing a Confederate army hat on my other leg.

I was going to get another one on my other arm, but to be honest with you, I have more important things to do with my money. These weren't real expensive, but they were fairly expensive. I see these kids get these tattoos now and I ask them: "How much was that?" and they go like "This is three hundred dollars," and I go like "Oh yeah, see this? This was ten!"
