What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My Chicano culture, my families history being apart of East LA played a huge part in deciding to get a smile now & cry later mask started (cry later finished on one arm) and during the same session I got the homunculus oroborus symbol on my right hand as I thought Greed from FMA anime POV was relatable in his fierce protection over his people

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Trials and tribulations are but mountains I have traversed and made through to the other side stronger; remember to live freely, find & take pride in the things that bring you joy. Respect to those that came before you and have impacted your life in a big way.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Help pay for medical school to get my degree in Psychiatry with a focus on trauma informed care so that I can provide support to those in underserved communities that don’t always receive the level of compassion and understanding needed to help them navigate their unique struggles. Would also use part of that money to launch my brand for my Liquid Alchemy LLC and get back to private event production and opening my own bar in LA.
