“I had a tattoo parlor that I called, Sean’s Okay Tattoos because they were at best, okay,” joked Penn, 59, before beginning to draw.
He seemed confident with the tattoo gun, but remarked, “now my eyes have deteriorated quite a bit so we’re sure to at least match the level of the last one.”
“Are you ready for this?” Spade asked Penn.
“Nah, in fact I haven’t touched one of these guns in maybe 15 to 20 years, I’m wondering if I wanna maybe set this needle to go a little deeper,” said Penn, Spade’s eyes widening.
“There’s going to be a lot of corrective work,” said Penn as he finished up the tattoo.
