Darren Brass, acclaimed tattoo artist and co-creator of the funky fashion line for tots, Ruthless & Toothless, sat down with Celebrity Baby Scoop to discuss his love of fatherhood and tattoo artistry. The 37-year-old star of TLC's reality show, Miami Ink, and his wife Talea are proud parents of 1 1/2-year-old son Cassius ('Cash'). In this open discussion, Darren provides advice for tattoo hopefuls and adds how he plans to deal with Cash's desire to get tattooed just like daddy.
You are dad to 1-year-old son, Cassius. How has fatherhood changed you?
"Obviously, fatherhood has changed my perspective on life in general in a huge way. Everything Iʼm doing now is in consideration of that sweet baby boy and being the best
role model I can possibly be."
Tell us about your children's clothing line "Ruthless & Toothless." How did it come about? What is the inspiration behind it?
"When we started R&T, we had one thing in mind: That was something fresh, something
new and exciting that was inspired by creativity, art and the want for something better
for the next generation. Something that would inspire both parent and child."
You star in the popular reality TV show, Miami Ink. Tell us about how you started with this show that celebrates the art of tattoos?
"We were blessed with the opportunity to do a show like Miami Ink that would show the diversity of people and their ideas in a field of art that was regarded as taboo for years; where again our art would inspire people of all ages and walks of life."
The Brass' Launch "Ruthless & Toothless"
| Dec 4, 2008 by JENNY SCHAFER |

Darren Brass, star of the TLC hit show Miami Ink, was photographed with his partner Talea and their 10-month-old son, Cassius Avery, at the launch of Ruthless & Toothless Baby Clothes and Furnishings Line. Ruthless & Toothless was apparently in the works long before Miami Ink was filmed. The designers of Ruthless and Toothless have been pursuing this project non-stop to make it a reality. The line features all "in house" designing by Brass, Garver, Hana, Hamilton, and Walls.
Darren stated, "I'm a dad, and children's clothes are either really nice and too expensive, we are a family company and we know what it's like to shop for children. So we are keeping the quality high and the products affordable. We know how quickly children grow, and we don't want the products to be too costly where the parents end up with a single piece. This was a one reason why the line is so extensive, because many of us are parents and all of us have young children.
