Shaquille O'Neal with Rob G.

Rob G., a tattoo artist known for his work on celebrities such as Suns star Shaquille O'Neal, hip-hop stars G-Unit, Ice Cube, Lil Jon, and DMX, and the New England Patriots, died at his home in Orlando, Florida on Monday, January 26. He was 39 years old. Few details of his death are available, but a close friend of the tattooist says he committed suicide.

We had attempted to contact Rob G. to discuss Shaq's tattoos via Rob G.'s official MySpace page back in December. On Wednesday, January 28, we received this response:
