“The Re-Animator piece was a fun tattoo for me. Not only
is it one of my all-time favourite movies, it's on a really good friend of mine, Steve Gonsalves, from the TV show Ghost Hunters. He drove down from Massachusetts and we watched horror movies all night while I tattooed him, including A Ser- bian Film, which was the first time he saw it. He thought it was interesting, to say the least!” – Paul Acker
