So it wasn’t like I invented the X for SE, it’s just that I was the first one, or one of the first, I don’t know, to do it as a tattoo. It just seemed to me that the way I wanted to put the ideals of all of that on my body for the rest of my life was to put it just like we did it everyday. I mean, sometimes I would put the X on my fists for so many days in a row, I’d get dizzy and sick from all the ink seeping into my skin, and the smell of those huge, thick markers was intense.
