Since my first meeting with tattoo icon Big Frank in Roseville, California, every moment of this interview has been gratifying. His contributions are duly recognized, and although his profile in tattoo publications is less extensive than that in the music industry, he remains an underappreciated icon similar to a hidden treasure. Younger generations of tattooists should become acquainted with Big Frank despite his widespread renown among experienced tattooers. His story is unquestionably extraordinary.
