Our goal was to craft the perfect anti-zombie firearm and without revealing too much, I can say that it was a journey unlike any I’ve ever experienced.

Apparently Tattoo artist Erin Chance likes “The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks” enough to stab its images into people’s skin. For Ibraim, the artist behind ZSG: RA, there is no higher compliment!
