I ran into Chris at Twisted Spoke and asked him a few quick questions about his bold Southwest-flavored Chicago flag tattoo.
CFT: Is that a New Mexico Sun?
Chris: It is. I was born there.
CFT: How long have you been in Chicago?
Chris: Just over twelve years.
CFT: What made you decide to incorporate the two? Is the water also symbolic of other places?
Chris: No, this [the blue shapes] is just abstract. Definitely everyone thinks it’s water. I just wanted some abstract blue there.
It’s just the two places that feel like home to me and made me the way I am.
CFT: Where did you get it done?
Chris: I got it done at Uptown Tattoo Factory.
CFT: Thanks so much.
