Wesley Klepac

Wesley Klepac  (junior) has a tattoo of a cross on his chest. He wrestled with what he wanted for about a year and six months; before he got the tattoo, he started looking at draw-ups and other specifics of the tattoo.

Klepac’s advice to people who want tattoos at a young age would be to “make sure you know exactly what you want to get because it’s going to be on your body for the rest of your life. It may fade, but it’s never gonna go away. [You need to] look through a thousand fonts, a thousand possibilities of designs, a thousand possibilities of shading.”

Klepac said that the pain was definitely bearable, and that the area affected gets numb during the tattooing. He went to get the tattoo with his mom and jokingly added “on the record or off the record, I don’t care: I was squeezing my mom’s hand through the whole thing, yeah I was.”
