The tattoo looks very authentic in what you can see, but that dude in the blue suit really looks out of place. Please dont tell me thats fashionable
Blue suit dude is my favorite part!
Blue suit + labret = gold!
I *really* would like the towel to drop…
Salt Lake City has a tattoo convention?
this is the kind of tribal tattoo that i like. when it looks like an actual tribe did it.
Not being pervy, but I love to see the frontal view of this.

There’s more to Utah than Mormons.

And, cool tattoo!
I want that suit. The blue suit I mean. Love the tattoo.
Winner of the best baby blue suit?!…..Chris Longo!!….YAY!!
Hey Shannon, the other guy in the picture is Chris Longo, have you ever done an interview with him? I used to work with him at Inksanity in NJ, he has a beautiful body suit that starts at his jaw line, and he has the most beautiful ear tattoos I’ve ever seen.
