My most recent tattoo was a spontaneous decision. I used a 25 mag to tattoo suminagashi-inspired flowy lines on my left arm while staying at my ex’s apartment in Miami. I had beach and boating plans the next day—not ideal—but I used it as a chance to test how a fresh tattoo holds up in the exact conditions I usually tell clients to avoid.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?It would say I definitely don’t have enough, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use it to get a major back tattoo by one of my favorite tattoo artist Aleksandra Voziakova, who just opened a private studio in Nuremberg. That would be the most appropriate use of those funds.
