most recent is an octopus on my arm by my elbow. i did a research assignment on them in college and fell in love. they’re adaptable and intelligent and represent transformation. they also look extremely bad ass!
If your ink could speak, what would it say?my body is my canvas. my ink tells the story of my life. my art is self expression! i’ve done so much work to heal my mental health, and in the process began to awaken spiritually. i love sacred symbolism and all things nature.
What would you do with the $25,000?put a lot toward finishing my art, getting a full underwater sleeve (the ocean saved my life), and more ink. i would donate 10% to CF (my brother is sick with it) and another 10% to my local hospitals mental health ward. any left over i would try to invest. but most would be spent on quality ink to honour the experience of winning!
