JT says of his rib tattoo – “The Tattoo is mostly symbolic of my childhood. I played mario a quite a bit, but not even as much as I played a lot of other games. Mario (and bowser of course) just made sense because the game was symbolic. Meaning, that its symbolic of the gaming industry. It was one of the firsts and has always been a classic. I wanted a video game tattoo than not only symbolized one specific character but rather videogaming as a whole.As far as coping with the pain… hahah. I work out 5 days a week. However, I’m just a slightly more cut wuss vs a scronny one. I got a tattoo on my quad and thought that THAT hurt… and thats one of the supposedly “least painful spots”. So I guess what I’m trying to say is that you have to just buck it out. It it’s a tattoo that you think is worthwhile, than you probably will.
