Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I gain inspiration about the things that interest me like sacred geometry, tribal tattoo, astrology ,numerology, martial arts , music and cars. My family, and Colombian culture has also inspired me on my journey. My last tattoo is a quote from the Beatles that reads “Living is easy with eyes closed “ . When I die I want my tattoo to hit differently, people will know that I tried to advocate for positive things like love and peace.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My tattoos would speak about how we are all connected and how everything is vibrating at different frequencies. They would also speak about the engine of life which is love. Some of them might also showcase fallen angels , and the imprint left behind. My flower of life that glows in the dark would say we are all one big family under the sun, moon and stars. Lastly my Bruce Lee scratches would talk about courage and getting back up stronger.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With 25k I would continue with my training and reach my dream of being a full time artist, My dream of opening up my own shop with my son, to help bring beautiful art and tattoos into our world. I would invest in better equipment and tackle the uv inks and continue with my unique niche. My passion is to create original and unique pieces that bring joy to the clients. With 25k I can make my dream a reality, and by helping others with their body modifications and artistic goals.
