NICK SINCHAK, TATTOO COLLECTOR

“I’ve always been really into motorcycles. The track racers were the daredevils of their time. When cars were driving 15, 20 miles an hour, they were going 100. I’d had the picture in mind for about eight or nine years, and I’d seen it done before, but it had never been done right. The guys hadn’t gotten the detail of it. Al decided he wanted to do it, and he’s really into—and good with—photorealism. Everybody, from fellow tattoo artists and tattoo collectors to motorcycle people who know the picture, is amazed by the detail Al gets in. We work in conjunction, but I leave the final discussion up to Al on what he wants to do with it.”
