This happened a week ago today at the Villain Tattoo Arts Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Obviously I really dig the 2 tattoos they made, however hanging with Mr. Lyle Tuttle (@lyletuttle.tattoo) Ms. Shanghai Kate (@shanghaikate) was priceless. They are such great people! I feel honored they made this happen. Thank you also to Max (@bruh_itsmax) for coming along & taking the pictures. (ps. This photo was made by Kate herself). #LyleTuttle #tattoo#legend #ShanghaiKate #GodMotherOfTattooing #autographtattoos #DreamsCanComeTrue #PhilidelphiaTattooConvention #VillainTattooArtsConvention (I pixelated the other tattoos so they don't "distract".)

The great Godmother of tattooing Shanghai Kate Hellenbrand was super kind and let Mr. Lyle Tuttle use her setup to tattoo me & on top of that, she tattooed me too at #VillainTattooArtsConvention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Thank you Max (@bruh_itsmax) for coming along & taking the picture. #LyleTuttle #tattoo#legend #ShanghaiKate #GodMotherOfTattooing #DreamsCanComeTrue #PhilidelphiaTattooConvention #VillainTattooArtsConvention (at Pennsylvania Convention Center - Philadelphia, PA (Philly))

Today, a looong time dream came true; Mr. Lyle Tuttle made his autograph on me. In addition he shared some great stories... I'm still in disbelief. It happened at the #VillainTattooArtsConvention in Philadelphia, PA. A big thank you to Shanghai Kate (@shanghaikate) for letting us use her equipment, and she also added her autograph on me, thank you Max (@bruh_itsmax) for coming along. #LyleTuttle #tattoo#legend @lyletuttle.tattoo #ShanghaiKate #GodMotherOfTattooing (at Pennsylvania Convention Center - Philadelphia, PA (Philly))
