NiceKicks.com Feature: 1 on 1 with Jordan Tattoo Enthusiast Chris Washington

Remember that Jordan tattoo that I posted a while back? Well now you can see it on NiceKicks.com. There is a full interview with Chris where he goes into depth about his tattoos, being a Jordan fan and of course.... yours truly. I posted a little excerpt here:

Nice Kicks: So, what is the origin of your tattoos? What made you want to ink your body up with nods to Michael and his extensive sneaker collection?


Chris: I basically told Derrick, my tattoo artist, what I wanted to do. I went to him and told him I wanted a Jordan tattoo. He actually thought that I just wanted a Jumpman tattoo or something like that. So, I actually broke down the idea of me wanting it to look like the Jordans are falling onto my leg. On the back of my leg, I wanted Jordan doing a dunk or a layup, and I wanted a picture of his face. Basically, he’s my idol. He’s one of the few athletes or even black entrepreneurs that you can think of and not think negative about. I’m into sneakers and that’s a big part of his game, so I needed someone that was going to detail the sneakers and make them look real. Not over-detail them, not under-detail, but make them look exactly like the sneakers.

THE JORDAN PROJECT

You saw the video? If not click HERE to go directly to youtube. 

Chris came to me with the concept of having every pair of Jordans coming out of the sneaker box. When I heard the idea, I was instantly like "Let's do this". From there, my creative juices began to flow and we ended up with this masterpiece four sessions later. The Jordan project is  perfect of example of when a great artist meets a great idea. Not to mention, the fact that I am huge Jordan fan myself only adds to the passion and dedication that I put into this piece. This tattoo is epic... and the pics are dope too. Yes, I am feeling myself. I think I have the right to.
