My New Tattoo Inspired By Basquiat

Posted by Steve-O | Filed under Art, Culture

“Inspired by Basquiat, My chariots on fire.
Everybody took shots, hit my body up, I’m tired.
Build me up. break me down. to build me up again.
They like, Hov we need you back so we can kill ya ass again” – Jay-Z

That’s the verse that was going through my mind while I was getting my tattoo of Basquiat’s crown. With so much craziness that’s been going on in the last few weeks, I felt like I needed a stress reliever. Nakim, Kwasi & I headed to Black Ink in Harlem for a meeting. I figured while I was there I would get my mind right. Hit the jump for more images.
