My most recent tattoo is of a tiger.What inspired this tattoo was the tough days that life has put me through. A tiger is strong and brave and during that tough time I was put in many positions where I had to be strong and brave to make it by. So I wear this piece as a reminder of my journey and to not forget the beauty in the struggle.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak it would say that I do my tattoos with passion and that I talk a lot because I love getting to know my client and having conversations about whatever is on their mind.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would buy tattoo equipment and supplies of the best quality. Then what I have left I would save and keep investing into it so when the time comes I can take care of my parents when they are older.
