- After getting sober, Richie Bones' entire perspective on life changed. And as his life changed, his body did as well thanks to the many tattoos he added. There are layers upon layers to Richie's collection, including a great deal of heavy blackwork. In this video Richie shares his journey through life and through being heavily inked.
Welcome to Heavily Inked. In our newest series, we're going to speak one-on-one with tattoo collectors and artists about what it means to be a heavily inked person. We'll get deep as we go through the motivations behind their tattoo choices, the way they've been treated in society and much more.

“I’m going to do what I want in this existence because I’m conscious “ - enough said! Period.
(within reason) should be at the end of that sentence
@Vinnie G 😂
Yep! Been feeling like this for about over year now and even though I am 29, I had to tell my parents it's best to let me live my life, as long as I am not committing crimes then I am good and they act that way now towards what I tell them I want to do in my life and it has nothing to do with tattoos, yet my parents would recommend no tattoos but that never got made about it or really said anything even thought it's below my sleeves.
Felt the need to express myself and maybe help out others, just be cool and try to talk to your parents, let the family act like adults about it.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Sounds like you're about to make bad life decisions..
Richard is one solid dude. Super well spoken, good job inked for finding him and making this interview
Thanks! And we couldn't agree more.
I absolutely adore his energy, he seems like such a lovely soul to talk to & be around
As a recovering addict with around 5yrs clean, this video or his story rather, got me in my feels. Nothing but respect brother🙏🏼
I agree with u Nick
I could never do this to myself but I respect that he’s confident enough to walk around like this without fear of judgment
I feel the same way and that's why I find people with heavy face tattoos fascinating. You might want to check out the coffee table book called Modern Tribe by a french photographer Laurent Ponce. You can find it and his work on his IG
@@MoKiShea I’ll definitely check it out, thanks for the recommendation
This is the best episode of this series. Those were some pretty profound statements. It sounds like his tattoo journey has led him to some form of enlightenment.
I love that he said “no regerts” at the end. Amazing story, funny and beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing your story.
Obviously if hes regrets he don’t saying that he obviously says no regrets😏😏 my wife she have one small tatto or her shoulder and she regrets
No Regerts!
no need to keep regurgitating that. The pain. The trauma. The judgment
When we regret we're just regurgitating pain over and over again and it keeps us from being Present. And Moving Forward
💜
As an addict in recovery I can so understand what he saying.. tattoos for me are therapy. So much internal pain is released through each piece. So much loss and grief exiting with each needle to the skin. Huge respect to Rich!
This dude is awesome. So enlightened after his early life experiences
"Look in the mirror and ask 'evolve or remain' " This is such a brilliant quote. On Monday I was diagnosed with a spine deformity (scoliosis) and on Friday I had a neck and back tattoo booked in. I had that exact moment Richie spoke of and didn't know whether or not to go ahead with the tattoo because it would draw more attention to my messed up shoulders. But I decided to fuck all my worries off, now I have the start of a beautiful back piece and I couldn't be happier.
Aside from this, Richie just has some great insights. A lot of people could help themselves listening to this chap.
It breaks my heart that his family doesn't accept him, I'm mum of 2 and Nan to 2 and I'd always be proud if he were my son. Not because or in spite of the ink, but because he's an amazing person with a deep soul that I have raised and is a part of me 🖤 God bless you Sweetheart.
Before you speak about his family not accepting him, know the whole story. His bad behavior toward his family, his poor choices (not the tattoos), the way he treats others, and so much more, is the reason why HE chose to live his life the way he does and not have family support.
This dude is very strong to be himself .
His energy is so attractive
These are such valuable interviews. I love this one, and the one with Joe Smith. Tattoo culture is primarily passed down through oral histories, and I really value the interviews that Inked does. It's so important to gather this history.
What many have forgotten in this "tattoos are cool man," time period is what tattooing once was. People earned tattoos. They couldn't whine and squirm, while they had bone needles jabbed/pounded into their skin. Getting tattooed was a badge of honor, growth, family line, tribe, social ranking, etc. It meant something. You couldn't buy it and you were marked for life as a part of that group. When you have the emotional, mental and/or spiritual growth that came with you earning your tattoos, you are changed. You getting it, you having it, you living with it, you being marked....you are never the same.
Exactly
For my dad and I we still use tattoos to mark life events or something major that has happened in our lives. I despise when people just walk up to the wall and go "yeah I'll have that" like it's the dollar menu at McDonald's.
This was super inspiring as I’m sleeved out but through divorce and rebirth and rebuilding…. These images represent someone who no longer exist… I’ve been toying with the blackout idea for a few years now but his words kinda made it all make a lil more sense . I’ve always called it my war paint , not unlike camouflage. Me n the fellas at the shop are gonna have to start really planning this adventure.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Rich, super friendly and welcoming person!
I've love to hear Rich on a podcast - he's super interesting.
Learning more about his life, beyond tattoos, would be awesome.
This guy has some lyrics inner twined in his wording. If I was a rapper This is gold. Well said bro.
I love that the black work has so much meaning to him
This story is beautiful . I hold myself back from adding art to my skin for fear of others . This life is ours and ours alone .. can’t allow anyone to control it
Don’t let it hold you back, in the end you live with the regret of not doing what you wanted and the people you fear will judge you will not be at your funeral
I love his black work sleeves, nice and solid 👌🏾
Pretty deep story.
Theres always a reason for everything.
Richard, man, R.E.S.P.E.C.T. You've got soul, you are connected, and yet, you have deep pain. You're *exactly* the same as the rest of us. Dude, I would love to have a beer with you and talk about geopolitics and whatever else.
This man is BASED
I love this dudes style. I couldn't imagine doing it, but man, the black work he got is incredible
The bit where he said "have you had enough" and replying "yes"...choked me up and my eyes watered just because I really do understand and have felt that feeling. I had bad problems with alcohol and it was getting very out of hand to a very suicidal moment, two men "helped" me not doing what I was gunna do.. then the next day I find that they have stolen my purse, the same night they took me to a group of people I had been hanging out with in a pub and the group of people completely denied knowing me. At my worst moment of weakness and depression it felt like the biggest betrayal ever. My anxiety was super hightened and I was terrified of even letting someone sit next to me on the bus incase they robbed me, I didn't go out other then work and home, my hands would shake and I stopped using backpacks, changing it to handbags I can put in front of me.
It really was time to re-evaluate my life. I had tried stopping drinking before but failed numerous times but I had to try. I realised all my worst problems have been made by poor decisions whilst drunk.
It's been really hard and yet I still can't even go to a shop to get a non-alcoholic cider thing cuz it's all blended in with the actual alcohol and I have a hard time looking at it. BUT... Next week il be finally 2 months sober. The last time I was sober was when I didn't drink when I was about 18, the 1st month was surprising and now coming up to my 2nd month I feel really good about it.
It's still a challenge everyday but it's true, once you cut ties with the addictions and come over the worst everything starts working a bit clearer, like your mind and feelings.
Thanks dude for sharing your story, really touched my heart and made me feel not alone
Congratulations on becoming sober! I hope that you have continued your fight since you made this comment and that everything is alright. I'm sorry that you had that experience and that it lead you to feeling the way that you do about potentially being robbed. Your feelings are valid and are important. Please know that your bad experiences are not what define you. It's what you do after those experiences that makes you who you are. Your strength to keep going, despite all of the pain that you feel, is extremely inspiring to me. I hope that things are getting better and that you find a reason to smile today. Everyone deserves happiness, and you are no different. Thank you for taking the time to share your story. I hope that you have a great day. (To anyone who may read this, I also hope that you have a great day too. You are loved.) - A stranger on the internet.
Heavily tattooed people are always the most interesting and usually most kind people ever
I can attest to this. Had two twins come my family restaurant that were tatted head to toe. Looked intimidating, but turned out to be the most down to earth people.
Who doesn’t love this guy
People who look like him are always interesting, looks and personality.
Not only is this dude the coolest guy ever, he's even from my township 🤯 Keep living your best life, Richard!
Thank you, Richie, for your candid interview.
What an amazing, fascinating human being. You blow my mind in the best way man
Those first few sentences he said really hit me. I needed that today.
This dude seems like a nice fella. I love his black work it is so clean. I find it interesting in these videos how people with black work say its a spiritual feeling getting it done.
Wow. His outlook and opinions on life really have me thinking. Smart guy. Thanks for sharing
i could listen to him everyday forever
Brilliant guy. Thanks for having him on
what an interesting and truly lovely person.
Wow. This person is a joy to be around, I'm sure. Very chill vibes, that I enjoy very much.
I am going to do what I want in this existence because I'm conscious.
Well Said, Period
He looks awesome !
Been a big Richie fan for a long time- so long that I remember what he looked like before the heavy ink haha. Such a great guy and super stoked to see him get this interview.
How do you know him? He's seems so sweet
That’s awesome I would have loved to known him in the past but he’s very good at explaining himself though, I don’t know him but seems like an awesome dude
The bathroom demon part got me
this dude was definetely a warrior in another life
You're so beautiful all the way around 😍 Waiting on that book! That would be awesome.
Gosh! Some of these tattoos must really have hurt a LOT to do! It’s your body, you do with it as you like, it’s you choise! Tc!🖐
This is by far my favourite interview on this channel thus far.
his energy/aura is amazing
He made a point, everyone should express themselves in any way they want.
Look in the mirror and ask evolve or remain,that is some deep motivation right there 🙏🙏
I just would hate the spotlight. I rather float unnoticed in this world.
Nonetheless, his arms are so dope
I got both arms blacked out . I ask myself each day, long sleeve shirt or not? Now both hands are blacked out ... Maybe the shirt choice doesn't matter? I really don't want a life in the background. I really want permanence in my life . I only get compliments or stares ... That's okay. But something is much better than nothing.
this video deserves more likes
Have you had enough? Powerful words
These thoughts and actions. Absolutely agree. When I talk like him people get weird. I’m a professional tattooer yadda yadda. Heavily tattooed as well. SAME THOUGHTS. I saw a guy with a full upper body suit in a gas station at like 6 years old, I don’t remember it well… but my mom tells me all the time how scared she was after I would NOT stop talking about this guy covered in tattoos. Then my mom got a tramp stamp. I was obsessed with it healing. I don’t remember that much either. But yep, freaked her out even more. Was an accomplished artist before I started tattooing, and yeah, was meant to be. Started tattooing in 05.
What a bloody cool and interesting guy !!!
The people that are this covered in tattoos are the most beautiful people inside and out.
Hoode seems to be the go to artist for blackwork
Congrats on your sobriety. You have a positive for society so respect for that. Thanks for helping!
I resonate with this one so much! 🙌 Big Love!🫶
Thanks for sharing your story! 🙏
A revery is an inclination that the desolate heart fabricates when all else is lost , that shits deep!!!
20 minutes from buck county. I’m from Burlington nj shout out to you bro 👌🏾
Yoooo no lie those tattoos fit him damn good bro good outfit with those tatts, he the only few that can rock tattoos like this
I would love to see " the black alien " in this channel. It would be amazing.
Wow that was amazing, thanks for sharing your story, the insight and depth was great and very thought provoking. It resonated heavily with my as I’m in recovery too and tattoos have become a way to process certain things and a way to ultimately express some feeling/myself.
Beautiful soul, thank you for sharing your truth, wisdom, energy and time
He seems like a very cool dude, very chill.
I saw him at Johnny Brenda's when I was in Philly. Now I wish I would have approached him and struck up a good convo.
Wonderful philosophy
Richie Bones is an inspiration!
I wanna cry and hug him
thank you big bro
I love that book he said he'd write, haha, it's so true. I had a hewish bf he was not happy when i got my first tattoo jail style pen on my neck "Sic itur ad astra" which means "thus is the way to the satrs" or "thus is the way to immortality".
One day i'll be at this point and this journey I am very much looking forward to it. I already have a large majority of my body covered and seeing people who are heavily tattooed and so positive is such a great thing to see always. I have my daughters name already under my eye and next month I'm getting a throat/sideburn/side of head piece started, I'm super excited for that next step in my path.
Good luck with your journey!
@@RegratorNovem Thank you and I appreciate your kind words 😊
I like his story telling.
this dude is his own man. That's rare in a world followers
Wise man you are Rich Bones!
My dude!!!! Always thought you should be on Inked 🖤🤘🏻😭 fucking rad.
Respect!
0:05 my guy has had him some psilocybin in his life
the only way you would say this, would be if you did too 🤔
I was thinking the same shit
Nothing wrong with that
Love his energy✨
Rich….if you see this I hope you know you now got me addicted to black out hahahaha
Thank you Ritchie. I went out after 16 years and ask myself if I've had enough. Beat myself up & am riddled with guilt & shame. Please just know I related alot to you.
That lower face blackout looks pretty sick actually.
I want to say thank you for sharing this video cause I have similar malfunctions and to reinsure that life gets better by doing what you like and want I'm trying to find someone to tattoo my face I have some on my neck already n partial sleeve with hand done
Really connected with what he said about getting tattooed and painful spots. It's one of the oddest enjoyments I have and you are in this other place while being present. Damn it now I want to go get my other ribs tattooed
Seems like a cool dude. I love his life philosophy. 👍
What a wise and sweet man
Cop: “There’s his left ear! Freeze!”
thank you for sharing your story!
Mad respect ✊ more power to u, bruh! HugsfromNYC 🍎
Wow..I remember living that moment out in the mirror as well…that was a life changing moment were I realized that I’m the only one keeping me from being clean and living a better life..Iv been clean for 14 years now..your the strongest and the weakest person you know but it’s your choice on which you want to continue to be!!
I love this guy.
My guy rich 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
God he looks so fucking dope
I like his reasoning.
What an interesting character (person) he is.
It’s amazing to see this especially bc I know rich in person this is exactly how he is he definitely not the one to put out a false persona
I'm schizophrenic and a freak. My ink paints a picture of what's in my head
Solid blackout nose is crazy painful. Probably has to be the worst
How do these people not understand? The pain that they're trying to cope with through experience and expression we all experience. I've seen so many of these blackout videos and they all have the same understanding. They all come to it through incremental expression they believe gives them reprieve from the pain.
It never goes away. This is a part of life. No matter how many parts of your body you tattoo you are not your tattoos. We seek to have people see us the way we see ourselves and tattoos help that but its all bullshit.
Thats my two cents. Live your life and don't let people control you.
