The inspiration for this piece came from being out in the environment, finding purpose, and wanting that nostalgia reflected on my body. The most recent tattoo is silhouettes of mountains, burn scars, and other creative ideas. Burn scars are usually burned out areas caused by wildfire. The wolf signifies growth. An ongoing development of leadership through humility, discipline, and hardship. To be humble— forever, as a student of life.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If fire were sentient would it be human?
