Please join me in welcoming Tyler Wiechman.  

No, your eyes are do not deceive you.  It is the web slinger himself tattooed on Tyler’s arm.

Sing it with me:  Spider man, Spider man, Does whatever a spider can. Spins a web, any size, Catches thieves just like flies.  Look Out! Here come the Spiderman.

Ok, now that I got that out of my system, read on to learn what inspires Tyler’s ink.   Tyler makes his favorite action heroes look so cool.  

5 Questions

1.  How old were you when you got your first tattoo?

16

2.  What made you want to get your first tattoo?

Religion–I’m no longer religious and actually the current sleeve is covering up my first tattoo

3.  How many tattoos do you have?

8

4.  What is your tattoo story?  If you have more then one tattoo, tell me about your first or your favorite?

I don’t have a specific tattoo story, but the story behind the current sleeve is my love of marvel comics and how I’ve been inspired as a fiction writer, by many of the characters throughout that universe.  Some of my other tattoos symbolize my love of music, the loss of friends, my love of writing, and other fun geeky things (like star wars!)

5.  Tattoos on a significant other, like or dislike? Why?

It depends on the girl (and the ink for that matter).  A good girl with some good ink is pretty awesome.  Poor artwork and sloppy coloring is just disappointing.
