If your ink could speak, what would it say?My Ink is the story of my own journey through spirituality, finding my path from darkness in addiction to light in recovery and the wisdom it brings. The Chest piece of Set represents destruction and Anubis represents the redemption of that destruction. The sigil of Lucifer on my left arm leads through my left arm showing a snake with backwards facing thorns representing how hard addiction is to remove, and eventually I plan to have a black sun tattooed behind Kali on my back, wisdom.
What would you do with the $25,000?I plan to use the money to help open a tattoo shop of my own. I would also use it to publish my own book I am writing about my journey through addiction and my path to recovery.
