“I’ve been wanting to do another tattoo for like the last 10 years,” Moss explained, mentioning his Miami-based tattoo artist, tattzbyd. “He does great work. So I’ve been like ‘I want him to do something for me, i just don’t know what.’
“And one day it just clicked,” Moss went on. “You know, I’ve heard so much about my mom’s side — she [has] a lot of Cherokee Indians in the family, starting back with my grandmother and her mom and their mom — so I just wanted to do something honoring them. And it came about, and I told him what I wanted — look up some chiefs, look up this and that. And he just put a little mural together for me and he went to work on my leg.”
