Some people collect baseball cards, others collect stamps. “Crazy” Ruben Contreras has a far more badass collection. Contreras collects tattoos and he has some incredibly sick work to say the least. Hailing from Southern California it is no surprise that much of Contreras’ body is covered with black and grey. One would think that with such a huge collection—Contreras is covered head to toe—that his tattoos might not have emotional significance, but you would be wrong. As he describes in this video by SullenTV, the majority of his ink tells some story about his life. Most notable is Contreras’ backpiece. Not only is the tattoo amazingly beautiful but it tells of all of the highs and lows of the collector’s life.
