The Ink on "Ink"

Scott laid the design out in several themes that he chose for personal meaning. The front right is tribal, front left is Japanese, inner fairing is old school, and the rest of the bike is a combination of new- and old-school-style tattoos. The right fork is a tribal sleeve tattoo that turns into a tribal shoulder dragon. The left fork is a Japanese sleeve tattoo that turns into a Japanese shoulder dragon. Both dragons meet in the center of the chest (fairing) above Scott's family shield. Above the dragon is the script, "Take A Risk," which is a collar tattoo. The gas tank/dash is a spine tattoo with wind lines that come in to form the waist. The bag tops have a reverse wind line shape that represents the hips. The Latin by the brass knuckles and straight razor has script that reads, "Fight for your Beliefs." The pirate wench on the rear of the bike is wearing several of the tattoos from the bike: daggers, anchor, barbwire, and spider webs. The left tank is a military tribute to the Special Forces. The left-side cover represents winning the Sturgis drag race in 2011 and the left bag is the Ghost Rider riding the bike Scott races, his V-Rod Destroyer, #43/Lucky 7. The rear pirate theme is because Scott and his son are big Pirates of the Caribbean fans. On the right bag is a gambling theme with several personal items, while the right side panel is the music Scott listens to with a saxophone for his son who plays the sax. The right tank is a Made in America section with several old Harley and new Cadillac emblems. The inner fairing has several old schools tattoos: a lucky horseshoe with the year Scott was born, double hearts his wife and son's names, a cross that has the date his father passed away, along with a loyalty tattoo with a skull and pistol.
