So, while travelling through Virginia this weekend, I stopped in to see my old friend and tattoo artist Jedi Tattooist Edward Yeary.

I first met Eddie back in 1993, when thinking about getting a Tattoo. This turned out to be my first tattoo... and even though nearly twenty years later I still only have one tattoo it's now much bigger... every time I see him I seem to add a little something to it :)

Anyway, I digress, on this occasion the reason was twofold:

1. The second sitting of Miss Kates Back Piece Koi and
2. planning the web presence for Eddie's Tattoo Shop (EDDIE YEARY'S CHERRYBOMB TATTOO in ROCKYMOUNT VA) which means www.EDDIEYEARY.com for his personal artwork and www.INFINITYCOLORWORKS.com for his range of hand crafted natural tattoo inks.

While shooting some video and photos for this website we came up with this gem... it's made me chuckle so much we are going to use it in raw un-edited format:

If you dont have a Redneck Filter installed this is what he said:

Hello Eddie Yeary Here. Cherry bomb Tattoo in Rocky Mount: 17555 Virgil H. Goode Highway (which is a fancy way of say Route 220) Rocky Mount Virginia... I say that real slow... USA... I like apples... my name is Jeffy <insane-cackle> phone number here is 540-489-3488. Absolutely. Dont try this at home kids!

An incredible guy, very artistic, great fun, slightly crazy and mildly unhinged.
