I asked him, on a scale of one to ten, ten being highest, how he had would rank the pain from having his ear tattooed. He said "6". And the most painful tattoo spot for him? "My thighs," he responded.

I mentioned that Michael had three other visible tattoos. You can see them over here at Knuckle Tattoos.
Thanks again to Michael for sharing his musical ink with us here on Tattoosday!
