Learn MoreI had traveled to Thailand and decided I wanted a traditional Sak Yant, done by a Buddhist Monk. What inspired it was the appreciation of both the Thai culture and the religion of Buddhism, as well as the fascination with earlier tattoo practices.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak it would say that I’m the type of person who is always able to find the light in the dark. It would say I’m a free spirited person who is working to grow and improve herself everyday. More than anything it would tell the story of someone who appreciates the beauty in every aspect of life.
What would you do with the $25,000?Part of the money would go to paying off bills, the rest would be put aside for travel. I’ve traveled solo to 8+ countries, most recently being Thailand; I’d love to be able to put the money towards an extended tour of South East Asia. Additionally I’d like to be able to donate some money either towards animal welfare or spay and neuter program since I’ve worked as a veterinary technician for the last 10 years
