I recently tattooed an injured soldier in front of a Basquiat Painting in The Israel museum and another in front of a deadly terror attack location in Tel Aviv where a young man opened up fire on a crowded restaurant killing two innocent people. When I was approached by the Artists 4 Israel to make this journey I quickly agreed. I’ve been interested in visiting Israel for years but the right opportunity hadn’t arose until now. This was monumental for me and tattooing in general, tattooing in a world renown museum in front a Basquiat was a dream come true as I’ve been trying to get a live tattoo exhibit in a museum for some time now, so this was really a dream come true. I am so pleased how smooth this went, how well it was received, and I hope this is just the first of many.
