Welcome to DevonBloodTattoo.com. This is the personal website of Devon Blood. Blood is not an alias, it is the name I was born with. I was conceived in the San Quinton parking lot, born at UCSF, and raised in Pacifica. I have six sisters and one brother–I am the second oldest. All raised by my mom. I had seven sisters but when I was five one of them died. It broke my mom and my dad up. My mom is an artist and my dad is a musician. I started skateboarding in 1987 when I was seven. Skateboarding pretty much engulfed my life until I learned to draw.
On July 12, 2006, I was shot in the head. It happened at my now ex-girlfriends house at 1:00a.m. She didn’t want to sleep alone, so I rode my bike over to her house in East Oakland after work. We awoke to the sounds of several people breaking in. I asked her to put her clothes on and get out through the back, she said that she couldn’t because there were bars on the window, so I said screw it and held the bedroom door closed. One guy came up to the door and shouted, “Oh shit.. theres people here”. He fired blindly into the door as I was holding it closed and I got shot in the head at close range. I was in a coma for a month and had a bunch of weird dreams. I am originally right-handed but when I awoke I had developed micro-tremors in my right hand, now I am painting and tattooing with my left hand.
love you man
Onward and upward little brother.
