I’ve always been drawn to the culture, wisdom, and art of ancient Egypt. I’m not Egyptian, but their influence runs deep—from their architecture to their spiritual depth. I wanted to honor that legacy by turning my body into a canvas, blending admiration with ink. It’s my way of wearing history, turning inspiration into something personal and permanent.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?This is art—rooted in history, powered by respect, and made to live forever on skin.
What would you do with the $25,000?The ink journey continues—more tattoos, more travel, more time with the people I love. But the real win? Giving back through JDIM, a friends nonprofit helping unhoused people get IDs and essentials to secure housing and work here in Charlotte, NC. That’s what impact looks like.
