There is no denying the impact sneakers have on many things we see on an everyday basis. Over the years, we have witnessed a ton of sneaker-associated things such as birthday\/graduation cakes, sneaker-shaped keychains, sculptures and many other accessories. New York native Chris Washington shows us that sneakers can even inspire one’s artwork.<\/p>\n
Washington is a self-proclaimed sneaker and Michael Jordan addict; yet, there is another obvious fetish he’s infected with: ink. Washington a limitless amount of Michael Jordan and Jordan sneaker tattoos draped all over his body. It is easily one of the most creative, artistic sneaker designs we have seen ever!<\/p>\n
We recently talked with Chris Washington about the one-of-a-kind, sneaker related artwork on his body. In this in-depth interview, Washington discusses the design process of his artwork, what inspired him to ink his body up and the one tattoo he is missing!

Snkrs Day: It’s obvious that you are a sneakerhead and ink addict all in one flesh. What, exactly, are your tattoos comprised of? What is the count and placement of all of your tattoos? \n<\/strong><\/p>\n
Chris: On my leg, I have 14 pairs of sneakers which are all of the shoes Jordan wore during his Bulls career (except the AJ9). I have Air Jordans 1-14 on my leg. The sneakers are on the front of the shin of my left leg and on the back of my left leg, it’s a picture of Jordan dunking the ball, and the picture he took with the six rings on his hand. I actually have two sleeves, and I have my whole chest done. I have a tattoo on my back and on half of my leg also. We usually count each sleeve as one, so I have a total of five.<\/p>\n
Snkrs Day: So, what is the origin of your tattoos? What made you want to ink your body up with nods to Michael and his extensive sneaker collection? \n<\/strong><\/p>\n
