"Before I was more isolated as an artist. I was scared to be criticized for my art," he explains. "But I learned that critique is the best way to basically upgrade your skills." Find out more valuable lessons from Cease's tattoo game and learn about the 12-hour tattoo binge that got him hooked on inking as a young man.
