Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My original art and designs inspired me to black out the tattoos on my right arm, and begin my tattoo body suit with Massacrov. I work with a handmade crystal, refracted sunlight, and light photography creatively to animate a lucid dream as a character for a graphic novel. I innovate how to design concept art and develop content about my mutation using light and original art with AI. Manipulating a single image of light photography in a unique state to create tools and references.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My tattoo screams bio mech, it is screaming my transformation has not yet been completed. It is done freehand inspired by natural mutation, original art, and light. I go back to Berlin in a few days May 18th. My tattoo sleeve and face will be completed for the body suit. Before the end of the summer my neck and chest will be finished. We will also tattoo over my blackout soon which will be very interesting with this artist! My tattoo is growing on me as we speak!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would save the $25,000 for my graphic novel design for cultural art. Designed with original art about my mutation visual snow syndrome. I have been unable to get the support for it even after 8 years of reaching out. Many people with my sensory functions have been branded and defamed as hallucinating from drug use HPPD by the media our entire lives. This would be a good opportunity to start a conversation about visual snow now that a diagnosis code is available for the CDC and WHO.
