Show and Tell

BJ, B and Number 33

When tattoo icon BJ Betts invited Ken and me to contribute to his forthcoming lettering book, we had no idea that he’d Jedi mind trick us into giving him tattoos.

The client asked for a “B” and the House33 logo. Even after repeated reminders that it was our first time and that the tattoos might end up looking like rubber stamps, he still insisted.

A humbling experience.
