My most recent tattoo is inspired by Adam and Eve and the snake. Temptation in the snake and innocence in the two hands touching.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?"I am the echo of battles fought and won, a gallery of scars turned sacred. The phoenix burns bright with the fire of rebirth—ashes behind, skies ahead. The semicolon butterfly flutters where sentences could have ended, but didn’t. Leaves, vines, and blooms stretch across your sleeve, breathing life and growth. And the skull? A quiet keeper of secrets, a reminder that even endings have beauty. Together, I am your story—not just written on skin, but etched in soul.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would buy my dream car, my father had a mustang when I was little and I’ve always wanted my own.
