Flying pigeons was a big sport in Brooklyn. Everyone from Mafia dons to little ghetto kids did it. It’s unexplainable; it just gets in your blood.

Wherever I lived from that day on, I always built me a coop and had pigeons.

It’s not a dragon on his right forearm, it’s a tiger. I worked with the artist who did the tattoo at Diversity tattoo in Las Vegas (right next to the Stratosphere) on the strip near Sahara Street.
