ON BEING A DAD I've tamed my look a little bit and instead of being "Eric," now I'm "Hayden's dad." I wouldn't have it any other way.
WHY THE TATTOO? I’ve been getting tattoos for over 20 years now and am running out of room, but I had been saving the top of my arm to dedicate to our child.
STORY BEHIND THE INK Hayden was born during a blue moon so there is one behind her name and above it is a rose with a pink diamond inside it for my little girl.
