Down
the bleak ravaged stretch of road that lies smack in the middle
of Gary, Indiana, "murder capital of the world," there
is the Badlands. Lording over it is the maestro of the unrefined.
Swallow him whole, Make no mistake. There is no other Roy Boy.
After spotting his first tattoo, a careening search for self-expression
began. Time and again he rose from the ashes. Premier tattoo artist.
Animal tamer. Photographer. Musician. Producer. Writer. Videographer.
Racecar driver. Flack. In his domain he is a mythified presence,
an outlaw with special dispensation to freely walk tigers and pythons
down lawless streets.

At 60, he has respect. Today he is guru to the disenfranchised
youth of Gary. His illustrated body, once a freak show aberration,
presaged with bull's eye accuracy this generation's bent for expression
by pushing ink across its body. For them, his gospel hits a chord.
"Just as a king wears his crown, the common man can experience
this, too." Unlikely savior.
