Jack Shields

Knight Errant: What’s your tattoo?

Jack Shields: A sailboat. 

KE: When and where did you get your tattoo? 

JS: I was 17 and got it in South Dakota. 

KE: Why did you choose the design you did? 

JS: I don’t really have a deep reason behind it. I like boats, and I’ve always lived on a lake.

KE: How did you choose where to get your tattoo?

JS: I was choosing between the chest and ankle, and I thought that the ankle would hurt since it was on a bone.

KE: Did it hurt? Were you nervous? 

JS: I wasn’t really nervous, and it didn’t hurt that bad. 

KE: Have you always wanted a tattoo, is it something you thought about for a while or kind of a rash decision? 

JS: I’ve always known I’ve wanted a tattoo, but I didn’t know what I wanted. 

KE: Do your parents approve of the tattoo?

JS: They did, my mom had to sign something. 

KE: Do you think you’ll regret this? 

JS: I don’t think I’ll regret it.
