I got an interesting email from a reader that describes themselves as an “executive professional” who has to hide his tattoos at work, so he’s never shared these with almost anyone in his life. Ever since he was small, he felt an overpowering drive to become heavily tattooed, and, without feeling socially able to visit a tattoo studio, he took matters into his own hands with india ink and a needle. He’s now looking to have the tattoos professionally repaired, but here are a couple photos from the journey so far.
