A client of mine has become a close friend over the past couple years. When she first began visiting with me, we began creating memorial pieces for her husband who passed in a tragic motorcycle accident. Those first 4 tattoos of her’s were the most heartfelt pieces of my career. Now that 2 years have passed, my friend’s her healing speaks through her pieces. Her latest piece shows empowerment and strength that proves she can take on anything that life throws at her.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would say that no detail is too small. No matter the size of the piece, it can still have the biggest of meanings.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I were fortunate enough to win, I would use the money to help continue to build new business opportunities to grow my tattoo shop. Adding on a photography studio and an all-ages body art studio are my next business ventures. That money could help open a lot of doors to continue building an empire for my family.
