The tattoo on my chest,
00:02
the charra, that took about 3 years.
00:04
You're done with needle and thread,
00:13
my first tattoo was a picture of Heckle and Jekyll.
00:16
A good friend of mine at the same time,
00:21
so that means we're like engaged.
00:26
we each had a funny bird on our arm.
00:28
Hecko and Jacko two cartoon,
00:33
magpies, two magpies that used to like always get in trouble
00:37
We got those at the New Pike in Long Beach.
00:40
We lied and said we were 18.
00:43
I think we were like 14 or 15.
00:50
Danielle, right here,
00:52
anywhere on your body.
00:55
Don't, hey, don't let them lie,
00:59
I love Freddie DeGreti.
01:00
I love Gil the Drill,
01:03
I don't know if you're still tattooing,
01:04
but the tattoo on my chest,
01:08
Chara, that was done by Harry Super Jew Ross.
01:11
that took about 3 years.
01:13
Started in San Quentin and then I got kicked out of Quinton
01:19
so Harry followed me and did some more in Folsom,
01:24
I got sent to Soledad,
01:25
so he finished it in Soledad,
01:27
3 different institutions, you know,
01:29
so it's done with needle and thread,
01:32
so painful. And that's recognized all over the world.
01:36
I got a plaque at home that says,
01:39
most famous tattoo in the world,
01:41
you know, so that one is my 3 children.
01:44
And Jesus watching over them.
01:47
Mark Mahoney did that and we did that on the streets.
01:51
He was one of the best,
01:51
you know, he's retired now,
01:53
but he was one of the best.
01:55
That was done at New Pike in Long Beach in 1961,
01:59
191962 or something. I've just gotten out of the university
02:03
and I, I've got that one.
02:09
it didn't cost a lot.
02:12
Everywhere I go, somebody will come up and,
02:17
look, and show me their tattoo.
02:23
my face right here on her,
02:25
on her head. I thought,
02:26
wow, what's your husband think?
02:28
He says, he's got you right here.
02:30
I'm Danny Trejo, and these are Trejo's tattoos.
