Multiple inks that are meaningful to him are covering major portions of his body. Let us explore them.
1. ‘Work Harder’ Tattoo-Right Wrist
Tattoo: Casey has a tattoo on his left hand’s wrist.
Meaning: This is not just the first ink on his body; it is an inspiration ink. The tattoo was done by the Tattoo Artist Eric from New Vision Tattoo, Gainesville, GA. This idea of this ink is taken from the neon signboard, which hangs outside his New York studio and reads Work Harder. He’s got the same two words tattooed on his wrist. Also, as a reminder of the times when he did not even have a single work project throughout a year, he got ‘work harder’ tattooed on his left hand.
“just in case I forget,” he says.
2. ‘DO MORE’ Tattoo
Tattoo: Casey has the words “DO MORE” inked on his right forearm.
Meaning: “Do More” is a source of motivation for Casey. Besides his “Work Harder” ink, this tattoo is a continuous source of inspiration and a reminder that he needs to keep working hard and pursue the things he is passionate about. He got this tattoo done when he was working on an Ad for the Nike fuel band- an Ad where he is known to have blown the budget traveling the world and showing just what it means to Do More!
3. ‘Always be closing’ Tattoo-Left Arm
Tattoo: On his left forearm, Casey has the words “Always be closing” written on it. The tattoo is in tribute to his Grandmother. Also, many of you would remember it if you are Alec Baldwin’s fan of the famous 1992 movie; “Glengarry Glen Ross.”
4. Fish Bite Tattoo
Tattoo: Casey has dedicated one tattoo on his body as a reminder of the time when he was bitten by a Tiger Fish in the Zambezi river while visiting the Devil’s Pool with his son. This particular ink, according to Casey, is a lifelong memory for him. But, what amazes us is the fact that Casey has got the tattoo to memorize the bite or to honor the fish :D.
5. ‘Marathon Times’ Tattoo-Right Thigh
Tattoo: On his left thigh, Casey has a tattoo that represents his marathon times. Depending upon his achievements, he keeps on adding lines over the ink.
”I have a line–line–hash tattoo with my marathon PRs on my left leg,” Neistat says.
“Exactly. On my left leg, I have that. I only add a line if I break my PR. It looks like someone’s sketchbook. But I haven’t broken a PR in my last dozen marathons, so it’s in desperate need of an update. I only get it when I earn that update.”
