Cody TheCreative

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My last tattoo, “Create to Inspire; Inspire to Create,” was a commitment to the vision I had for myself as Cody TheCreative. It’s not just about making art, but about inspiring others to build the lives they dream of. I placed it on my hands to keep that reminder visible—especially in moments of selfishness or struggle—so I never forget to lead with purpose, and consider the impact of my actions on others, even in my most personal decisions.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Who you are on the inside, is who you should be outside. Wear your truth proudly; it ages better than regret. We can vouch: it's beautiful here ;)

What would you do with the $25,000?

In a matter of months, I'll be in charge of an art gallery in Austin, TX. $25K would bridge the gap—allowing me to focus on my art after years of being in survival mode. I've had to put life-changing ideas on hold due to finances, and this would give me the rare chance to give them the attention they need before stepping into a long chapter of singularly focused responsibilities.
