A Chinese story called the Dragon Gate. The story tells how a koi fish becomes a dragon through its struggle to swim up a mountain. To me that represents the transformation and journey we go through in life to become who we are meant to be, so I got the koi fish as well as the Kanji for the 7 virtues of Bushido to represent my life journey and my martial arts journey.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Each individual piece would tell the story that inspired it, whether it was a personal milestone or representation of my heritage and who I am as a person. That would also say they’re lonely and it’s time to get more.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would most likely use some of it to get more tattoos down the line but a good portion of it would go towards continuing my schooling as I work towards getting my teaching license, masters degree and an English as a Second Language (ESL) endorsement.
