What inspired your most recent tattoo?

It’s of a Vajra Dorje on my inner left bicep . I saw Elon Musk had it on his nightstand. Looked into it and found that : The vajra's origins can be traced back to ancient India. It was initially a weapon associated with the god Indra, symbolizing irresistible force. Over time, it was adopted into Buddhism and Hinduism, evolving into a symbol of spiritual power and the indestructible nature of enlightenment.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

"I roar duality, rebellion, enlightenment! I'm chaos & clarity, destruction & creation. 'Open eyes, realize'—awaken to truth! Flesh meets machine, art subverts war. Forest whispers, wolf howls. Pokémon transform, cannabis expands minds. Deadpool laughs with Joker's madness. I'm passions, fears, dreams, forever evolving, seeking to break free!"

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25k, I'd ignite change! A generous slice to charity, fueling hope. Next, debts vanish—freedom unlocked! Smart investments would pave the way for tomorrow's dreams. And, of course, more ink! Tattoos tell tales, a personal saga etched in skin. Every dollar empowers: giving back, securing future, embracing art.
