What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Honestly? I was high as sh*t. I wanted a new tattoo and was just doodling on myself. I was full of self hate towards myself as well at the time, and so I didn't care. My past is very dark and my tattoos are the badges, scars if you will, I occurred while sinking deeper and deeper into the bottomless pit of loneliness with a complementary sidekick of soul sucking addiction to heroin and meth.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

All my tattoos scream misery and blatant carelessness toward reputations, anything goes with art and despair!!!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would start a college fund for my only child. Her name is Olive and after I had her my whole life changed. I finally was able to put down the needle and picked up a baby bottle. A lot of forced self love and forgiveness goes a long ways. I have done a complete 180 on my life and I am very proud of my recovery. I overdosed countless times always tip toeing the line to the otherside, now, today I am clean. By the grace of God.
