Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I’ve been traveling overseas to get tattooed by one of my idols, Sneaky Mitch. He’s one of the reasons why I fell in love with tattooing. We’ve been working on a few large projects together, and hopefully by the end of it, I’ll look like a forest full of beautiful creatures. My latest piece by him is a shroomy, vampire bat on my upper left arm. I have many animals that I want somewhere on my body, and he happened to be one of them.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Take a moment and appreciate nature. We’re so invested in our own lives that we forget to just exist sometimes.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly, as boring as it might be, invest or save it. It’ll help me reach my goals much faster. Currently, I’m working really hard to become a better tattooist. I might invest into buying a better machine, or some inks. Eventually, I’d love to model or sponsor for alternative brands. I also want to be able to buy a house one day. I ALSO will get more tattoos, cause why not haha!
