Longnecker&#8217;s calf!<\/p>\n<p>Mark was here for only a week, but he and Drew managed to squeeze in about 20 days worth of work. \u00a0They burned the candle at both ends, working on tattoo flash in the studio until the wee hours of the night. \u00a0Then Drew decided to throw a wrench into it and agree to have them spend an entire day painting Escape Camper Vans.<\/p>\n<p>Then it was onto the 3 day Rock the Ink tattoo convention. \u00a0And Drew&#8217;s never had a tattoo in his life. \u00a0But he fit right into this scene of art and creativity.<\/p>\n<p>When the convention was slow and we all had a few beers, Mark said to Drew &#8220;<em>Dude, you&#8217;re giving me a tattoo. \u00a0Right \u00a0here.<\/em>&#8221; \u00a0He pointed to a spot on his calf that isn&#8217;t covered in ink already. \u00a0Drew said &#8220;<em>No, no, no, I&#8217;ve never held a tattoo gun before.<\/em>&#8221; \u00a0Mark insisted. \u00a0Drew tried to put it off until tomorrow. \u00a0Mark said
