Sooo...I did a photo shoot with Terry Richardson for Uniqlo today. Terry Richardson is the guy who does all those semi-racy American Apparel ads. Uniqlo is a worldwide brand, but they have an unbearably large store in Soho which sells clothes that look kind of like tricked out American Apparel clothes. I wore a shirt a pancake on it. Who doesn't love pancakes?!
Terry was an extremely nice guy and was interested in all of my tattoos. He had a piece done freehand by Mr. Cartoon on his right arm of a peacock with 'babes' surrounding it which ended up looking like a chicken halfway through his session. His heart sank at this point and just dealt with it and ended up coughing up $1400! He got it covered up by an artist in Brooklyn for $150. Now it looks like (according to him) a big black blob with skulls.
The experience was very cool but the best part of it all was having three fluffy dogs run around me while Slayer was playing via the speakers.
My artist, Tom Yak, who's done 99% of my tattoos, now doesn't work at NY Adorned unfortunately. I have been toying with the idea of going to another artist, but I can't bring myself to it- it sort of feels like I would be cheating on my wife (metaphorically).
The last photograph is of myself and Jhonen Vasquez. He writes and draws scary gothy type comics. After reading his comics for about a decade I finally met him! This is exciting for me because I have a lot of his artwork tattooed on me.

Actually, Terry Richardson does none of American Apparel's ads.
