Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is my neck piece that is half finished. I love neck tattoos that accentuate the jawline and brought the idea to my artist; I wanted something geometric and sharp to accentuate and masculinize my jawline. After 6 hours we decided to split it into two sessions, and unfortunately, I was never able to get the funding together to complete it. The idea was to continue the tattoo around my neck, down my back, and elaborate it on my chest some more.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink would have so many varying things to say! I have several tattoos that have familial ties that would tell stories about my love for my older brother, or tattoos of anime characters that would talk about the sleepless nights I stayed up binging my favorite shows. One of my favorite tattoos, an otter on my arm, would tell you the hilarious story of how it became one of my most recognizable tattoos thanks to my artist posting it on her social media.

What would you do with the $25,000?

First thing I would do after paying down some debts would be to get my neck tattoo finished. It is one of the most gender affirming tattoos I have, and I’d love to see it completed!
