When Tom attended the inaugural Scar Wars event- which celebrated it's sixteenth anniversary on May 19th, 2021- he had a fresh back cutting by a non-attending artist, but that didn't stop him from spending some time with artist Dave Gillstrap, seen here discussing a small OM that he was about to cut on Tom's torso.
