Action Bronson Breaks Down His Tattoos | GQ

[@happysworder123]

The only thing he actually “explained” about his tattoos is that they are epic

[@ismaelvega4780]

I used to not understand it until I started to really appreciate the traditional tattoo style. I thought it was so lame to "just pick something off the wall." Theyre timeless and classic. Having different traditional designs tattooed is like collecting little pieces of history.
