The Big Apple and the Big Ben

Ben Dollschnieder got this tattoo for a few reasons. He was spending a week in Baltimore with his brother, Nathan, and Nathan's roommate, an aspiring tattoo artist. The trio met up with some more family members in NYC and spent an entire week getting to know the city that never sleeps.

Music has been such a large part of Ben's life since he was a kid. He's played numerous instruments and been a part of even more bands. This quote by Bob Marley reminds him of the sanctuary that music brings him.

He also never wanted to forget the trip with his family so Nathan's roommate gave him a nice little reminder. Getting the tattoo may have made him pass out in the bathroom where he chipped his tooth on the sink. But he still think's it was worth it.
