Tattoo #6 – Canada: The Halo, The 6, and OFIHR
I was back in the air only a month after my spontaneous trip to Aruba. This time, I am heading north on a solo trip to Canada. It was my first time in the country, and I already knew exactly what I was going there for: Tattoo #6.
This tattoo had been planned since the beginning. Long before ink even touched my skin in Mumbai for Tattoo #1, Canada was locked in. Why? Because this entire global tattoo journey, every piece of it, was inspired by one moment. A simple music video. Of all things.
The Spark: “God’s Plan” and the 6 God
I’ll never forget watching Drake’s “God’s Plan” music video back when I was still in the Marines. It wasn’t just about the beat or the visuals. It was about the concept of it all. Watching him give back to people who truly needed it lit a fire I couldn’t stop. I wanted the freedom to do something just like that. I couldn’t do it significantly in the U.S. like Drake right away, but as a world traveler, I knew my money could go much further in other countries.
That was the seed for what would become Tattoo #1 in India, where I was doing regular charity work on the streets of Mumbai. From that, Mr. JetSetInk’s whole global journey was born.
Drake, known as the 6 God (a nod to Toronto’s 416 area code), is from Canada. So it only made sense to me to pay tribute to the country and the man who sparked all of this.
The Charity: OFIHR (Our Faith In Humanity Restored)
While in India, I flirted with the idea of starting an actual charity. I was doing the work anyway — walking the streets, handing out clothes and food I bought with my own money (and donations friends sent my way). No organization. No overhead. Just pure action.
Every rupee went directly to the people in need. I’d give a vendor money and say “free,” or pay per plate for anyone who came by. That’s real charity. And it was the blueprint for something I hope to revive one day. Either through Mr. JetSetInk or some future mission, maybe even beach cleanups.
I named the charity idea OFIHR — “Our Faith In Humanity Restored.” Pronounced like offer, because that’s what it is. A giving of self. A gesture of hope.

The Tattoo Design
Before landing in Toronto, I knew the design and the placement.
The tattoo is made up of three clean elements:
A halo at the top
The number 6 in the center
The letters OFIHR underneath
Why I Got It
This tattoo is a thank-you to Drake for inspiring me to give back without waiting for permission or recognition. People may have their opinions about him, but what matters to me is that he inspired real action in me and helped me do something good for others.
In a crazy twist of fate, I can’t count how many people have randomly told me I look like Drake. Honestly? I take it as a weird confirmation from the universe.
But this tattoo is more than that. It’s a reminder of who I am.
I’ve met people in this world who are violent, selfish, and wired to destroy. And I’m so grateful I came out different. I don’t go to church anymore. I don’t pretend to know if Heaven is real. But if it is, I know this. Some people sit in a church every Sunday and won’t get in, and people who’ve never stepped in a church will.
I spent 18 years as a devoted Pentecostal, preaching across Caribbean islands. But all those sermons distilled into one simple truth I carry today:
Just be a good person.
