Fast Five: Hindsight Tattoo's Zach Gallegos

Tell us about yourself:

Generation: I was born in 1985 but I probably relate to Generation X more than millennials.

Business and community involvement: I have been tattooing since 2004 and I am currently an artist at Hindsight Tattoo Gallery. I am an Idaho native.

1. What is the most exciting thing about being a tattoo artist and the owner of Hindsight?

Tattooing is an interesting career. Every tattoo is different — the approach of the idea or style, the area of the body. You have to appeal to the client with a different mindset to give them an original tattoo, sometimes leaving the client and artist comfort zone to accomplish the task.

2. What is the most creative tattoo you've ever done?

I have been very lucky to be able to do fun, creative tattoos throughout my career. I don't have a favorite. Maybe the next tattoo I do will be my favorite ...

3. What is one of your favorite things to do in North Idaho?

I love North Idaho. The ability to be in a national forest within minutes. Between the lakes, creeks, mountains and rivers. I will never leave this place. I love being in the outdoors.

4. What is something people would be surprised to learn about you?

I am a movie addict. I literally own thousands of DVDs.

5. If you could visit any time in history, when, where and why would you go?

I would like to visit the Baroque period (1600s) to watch my favorite artist work. Gian Lorenzo Bernini was the very best in my opinion. It would be amazing to watch a real master of the arts.
