My most recent tattoo was an artistic liberty piece designed by my go-to artist @bunnietattoos. I wanted a piece that would sit symmetrically with my “emergence from decay” leg piece which features a large skull, fungi, blackberries and brush. Both pieces highlight beauty that persists in the face of death and personal demons.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak it would say to persevere. Love and beauty can be found in many places in this life if we take the time to look around and embrace it. The cycles of life are while often saddening, very necessary for other forms of growth and expansion.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would utilize the money to provide more for my family, friends and our newly established farm. My goal since I was 14 was to become self sustaining and be able to provide for my loved ones. Last year I was able to obtain a property and I have since been able to provide a home for not only my family but also a few would-be shelter pets, as well as livestock that was unable to be cared for. I would focus on improvements to better their overall quality and enrichment in life.
