What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is on my hand silhouettes of soldiers walking into the abyss across a battlefield, with cross-shaped gravestones scattered throughout. It’s a tribute to the fallen and the weight we carry

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My tattoos tell the story of nearly losing my life twice in Iraq in 2006, hit by IEDs and awarded the Purple Heart. They carry the weight of death, survival and remembering lost lives. They show the pain, the memories, the war—and the fact that I’m still here. They also reflect my love for nature, because the outdoors is what keeps me grounded when everything else feels heavy

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would finish my ribs and stomach and be done with my canvas. The rest would go into savings as I have a young daughter who will eventually go to college hopefully. Art done by Matt Tyszka @ The Artisan Liverpool, Ny
