Learn MoreThe traditional Japanese style Battle Royale format, depicting 3 creatures in battle, particularly 3 creatures of different types such as land, air and sea. My most recent tattoo is the second of 3 creatures, a mighty tiger trapped on the rocks of a stormy oceanscape. We took the Battle Royale concept and applied it on a massive scale across 3 entire appendages. When done, a legendary Haryu water dragon, a mighty Bengal Tiger, and a legendary Phoenix will all converge in battle!
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would say that I have grown so much and have become so accepting of my inner person. My ink would note my acceptance of change even when things seemed dark or unclear. Ultimately, my ink would applaud my relentless pursuit of my vision and my commitment to staying true to the image I wish to display to myself and to the world through my bodysuit.
What would you do with the $25,000?First and foremost I am committed to helping shelter dogs and, if I am lucky enough to win, I will be donating half the prize money to my local shelter sight unseen! I intend to use the other half to payoff debt and help fun the rest of my bodysuit, particularly my left leg piece!
