I met Gus a few months ago at Lesley's apartment. Whenever I would see Lesley last summer she'd always talk about him. It was finally nice to see her happy.

Gus told me a story on he started his sleeve. A few years ago, Gus swung by his (now) ex-girlfriend's house and had seen his friend's truck parked outside. He kicked her door in and proceeded to beat the shit out of his sleeping friend. He had caught his girlfriend cheating on him with one of his friends. Her mom threatened to sue him for breaking their door down, so Gus started to save up money. The door that Gus kicked in was valued at over $3,000- it was one of those Victorian doors that is extremely thick and has all the intricate floral carvings within it. At one point he saved up to $1,500 and decided that he wouldn't pay for the damage and ultimately left her to pay for it herself seeing that she deserved it (I agree fully on this).

Gus then used the $1,500 to get tattoos.

Gus has a whole sleeve dedicated to the Clive Barker movie Nightbreed. The artwork is from the Nightbreed comic series. There was a Nightbreed comic on Lesley's table that night. My favorite part of the sleeve are the cops in his underarm.

He is also currently work on his right leg sleeve which is dedicated to the Clive Barker film series Hellraiser.
