All my tattoos are a display of moments that happened in my lifetime that are truly meaningful to me. Everything inked on my body is a representation of some aspect of my life almost like a timeline or a visual roadmap of memories I like to see and be reminded of. The inspiration behind my last tattoo was just to follow my chest piece of a crying angel with bloody money, I got a angel on my neck with a AK-47, ski masked with a money bag representing even good people can do wrong. Good vs Evil.

If my ink could speak it would tell so many stories about different times in my life some were happy moments the majority were dark times and I turned to getting tattoos as a coping mechanism to deal. People resort to different outlets to numb pain and this was mine. A lot of people ask me about my tattoos or compliment me with out knowing my back story. Mental health is really important to me and tattoos really saved my life getting me through my hardest times.

To open my own tattoo shop to give myself and others a opportunity at a non traditional way to generate money and provide for our selves and our dependents doing exactly what we love expressing our selves through forever art. I would also make sure to buy my son who’s about to graduate a car and put him through barber school and get his own barber shop open. Im all about making ways for me and my children to be self sufficient for ourselves because you can only depend on yourself in life.
