What inspired your most recent tattoo?

For my most recent tattoo is a pirate ship crashing through the waves. I've draen all my life and wrote a business plan to start my own studio. So for practice I tattooed the ship my on my leg. Came out pretty great! But found when I tattoo another person my hand shakes. So I've kinda started seeing my dream of being a tattoo artist slowly slipping away unfortunately. I just don't know how to get over my hand shaking when it's a tattoo going onto another person😧

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would tell a story of my father for my first tattoo I got his platoons crest tatted over my heart. And then follows into a time in my life when I was in martial arts and got affliction tatted on my chest as well. As I got older I wanted something representing life and death and unfortunately my artist moved and never got finished. But everything tells a story about times in my life. My father's crest from war is most important to me as I got this after he passed.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to use it to try and pursue my dreams of owning my own shop if I can get a grasp of my shaking situation. But I am a single father of two beautiful kiddos. Their mother passed away early in their lives because she was unfortunately an addict and fell back into her old ways and o.d. from heroin.. so the money will most likely get put towards my children's college funds. I don't have much saved for them so far but this money would surely help for their future.
