A lot of my ink came from my time in the Army. I’m now a construction worker in NYC. The story is one of survival in this concrete jungle.

My most recent tattoo is a set of flaming eyes that I got in Bangkok, Thailand. My wife is Thai and I spend lots of time back and forth from Thailand and NYC. I love the aesthetic of the country and the different temples throughout. Thailand is full of colors, sounds and smells that always inspire me.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink tells a story of military tradition, construction worker grit, and New York City rawness. I grew up a wild child and got my first tattoos at 17 without parental consent. Everything in my life I’ve learned the hard way. I’m a high-school dropout who joined the Army and deployed to Afghanistan before my 21st birthday. Lots of my ink I’ve gotten outside of military bases. I’ve managed to turn my life around and am now successful in my construction career.
What would you do with the $25,000?The money would truly be life changing. My wife and I have been saving up for a wedding ceremony in Thailand for our friends and family to meet and celebrate with us. I’ve been married to my wife for 8 years and still haven’t had the celebration and ceremony that we both wish for. I owe everything to her and she deserves nothing but the absolute best wedding money can buy.
