My Jim Sylvia experience

I don’t think it’s breaking news that I’ve wanted to get tattooed by Jim Sylvia for a long time, and I’m excited to say that it finally happened.

Instead of going on and on about what a great experience it was, let me just say this: We need more tattoo shops like Unbreakable Tattoo, and we need more tattoo artists like Jim Sylvia.

Thanks to Jim and everyone at Unbreakable! Until next time!

Multi-label classification

Do I classify this as a chest piece, or am I allowed to call it a torso piece? Hmmm.
