‘long story’

But Jon Bang Bang who owns the tattoo studio spilled the beans. He told Inked magazine on Thursday that the actor got the inspiration to ink the design of a sea turtle after he had an experience of transcendence swimming the aquatic creatures in Saint John.

He said:

“He was telling me that there was a transformation for him with his career decisions when he was swimming in Saint John. He spotted this turtle with a chunk missing from it’s fin and a scar on his face. And that turtle let him swim with him for about a half an hour. He made a transcending decision right after that. So that turtle was pretty significant to him.”
