What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent was my scooby doo mystery machine finally getting color! It’s a reminder to stay in touch with my inner child and always stay silly. Eventually I would love to add some hex girl pin up girls as well as more in depth fun twists on characters. Potentially including other Cartoon Network characters. It’s one of my only tattoos that I have color in, which in itself symbolizes the fun and childlike aspect I love.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

When I first started getting tattooed a big part of my art was to try and have people take me more seriously. As time has gone on it’s become more about collecting art, creating bonds with people who are like-minded and enjoy the same things. People who understand things about life that others don’t. I think my ink specifically would speak to each individuals artwork that I have collected, as well as our shared conversations and experience we had together while in the chair.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I had the opportunity to win, I would use the money to help fund my schooling to go to school for hair and then open my own business. I would love to hold fund raisers as well as events like haircuts for the homeless as well as other similar events. I believe in paying it forward and would love to get myself set up better with a line of work to where I can be a resource to help others.
