Last Sunday my latest tattoo was finished. Bee of Tattoo Edge, a friend of mine since I was 3, has been tattooing in NYC long before it was leagalized. It was a 3 stage process. So on the last session I deceided that I would film it and make a little movie. Yes, it’s me holding the camera. I also decided that I would compose a soundtrack to cut it to. Taking a base loop from the late great Tito Puente, I added a little guitar riff to compliment it and recorded a bongo solo over it. Bee provided the buzzing sound of the tattoo gun. And also was an influence in my education of latin music when I learned to play the bongos.

That’s pretty neat! I kept wondering throughout what the significance of the picture of the sculpture meant. PRETTY COOL.
