“Remember that time you were wasted and thought it would be a good idea to get a tattoo on your leg of Maury Povich shaking hands with Sasquatch, but your friends talked you out of it at the last second? Well, some people don’t have friends.”
– No Regrets: The Best, Worst, & Most #$%*ing Ridiculous Tattoos Ever

Traditionally, people use tattoos as a means of self-expression. Most times, this self-expression comes off as artistic and thoughtful. However, others just get way out of hand and come across strange as hell. Aviva Yael & P.M. Chen went on a year long crusade scoping out tattoo conventions and studios throughout the country in order to find the most random, comical, strange, terrifying, and downright out of this world tattoos.

What they found helped to create the gem that is No Regrets: The Best, Worst, & Most #$%*ing Ridiculous Tattoos Ever. The book contains countless images of all sorts of tattoos accompanied by hilarious captions. Each page makes for a laugh out loud moment, and solidifies itself as a must read.

Ever-aspiring to new heights whether through words or what’s he’s wearing, Will is towering over the clichés of his small town beginnings and adopting his views on the world in high definition.

Name: Will S. aka Bump aka WordSmith aka ill Will aka Prince S.
Age: I’m 23

Born: Bear, Delaware
Based: Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn

Occupation: I’m a former pro-athlete turned stylist, an actor, writer and model citizen.

Favorite brands: G-Star makes the best jeans for me (36X36). Vans Gucci chucks and Nike for footwear. I used to love Rocawear because it was urban chic to an extent, but now I am an American Apparel fiend.

Talk about the gumbo of influence that’s birthed the style you possess today.
My style is collectively eclectic. I am the product of growing up in a small state between Philly and Baltimore where I stuck out like a 6′8 sore thumb. I went to Villanova where I dabbled in the country club lifestyle and partied it up like the rockstar baller. I was in college. Then I lives just outside of Milan while playing pro Italia ball. And now, I live in Bed-Stuy — do or die!
