Aleister Black was not always covered in tattoos. But even when he wasn’t, he still longed to be covered in a combination of art and ink.
“My mom can vouch for this,” said Black. “I was nine when I told her, ‘When I grow up, I’m going to get a bunch of tattoos.’ And she said, ‘Sure you are.’ I came home with the quarter-sleeve when I was 19 and she said, ‘You weren’t kidding!’”
Black has used his body as a canvas to collect tattoos, capturing a piece of his soul on his exterior.
“I only thought I’d get one arm done at first,” explained Black.
