October 27, 2015, 8 years ago
Former Hades guitarist Dan Lorenzo spoke with Overkill vocalist Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth yesterday about the band’s future, sports and tattoos for Painful Pleasures. Below is a portion of their conversation:
Q: How old were you when you got your first tattoo?
A: “I was 40... it was the first step to a divorce, the closing chapter.”
Q: Did anybody in your family object to it?
A: “No, not that I remember.”
Q: I know you're an intelligent person. Did you ever ask the artist what type of ink they're about to use on you?
A: “I did not... it was a trust situation for me, a close friend. I really knew nothing of the art prior to my first experience.”
