I went to Seven Seas Tattoo in San Diego today and got this tattoo by Sergio Hernandez. It’s inspired by my book, Forest of Fortune, and my time in the casino biz. Some artists like to talk while they work and some are strictly business, which I completely respect, so I usually bring a book to pass the time. Sergio mentioned that his brother, Daniel, is a writer, and as it turns out I met him many years ago while he was working in Los Angeles and he appeared at Vermin on the Mount. Daniel went on to Mexico City where he wrote a book called Down and Delirious in Mexico City that was published by Scribner in 2011. Daniel now writes for VICE and recently wrote this piece about the 43 missing students. It goes without saying, both Daniel and Sergio are extremely talented and it’s a small fucking world, isn’t it?
