Longest piece of biblical scripture tattooed on Larry Hughes
At his favorite St. Louis tattoo parlor, Hughes asked his friend Nate to engrave all six verses of Psalm 23 across his torso from neck to navel. To save time and considerable pain, Nate suggested they simply highlight the most pertinent passage. Therefore, on his left upper arm Hughes now exhibits the words: “Though I Walk Through The Valley of The Shadow of Death, I Shall Fear No Man.”
Hughes already have a collection of 15 tattoos, including Silky Smooth, Boogie Down, Quiet Storm, Magician, and Grim Reaper.
