Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Beauty. I love vintage art and style so being able to have these highly detailed tattoos with filigree on my arms and see them during everything I do feels amazing. I want to be covered in beautiful art. My first tattoo was to honor my dad a year after he died and as everyone knows you can’t just get one. Tattoo fever settled in heavily and I constantly saved so I could constantly add to my work. Now i’m back in school and it’s taking longer to save up but the itch needs to be

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Most people see my tattoos and think I have been inspired by Beauty and the Beast because I have candles, a teapot, and a rose very close together but that was completely unintentional. I know i keep saying beauty is a big part of my ink journey but i think it’s screaming “bellissimo”

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would have to split the money. I would love to donate half to House of Ruth here in Baltimore, my mom has done so much work with them and we have been able to donate a lot to them throughout my life and I would love to continue to support them. I would also have to be a bit selfish and give the rest to my mom. She has been so strong my entire life and has had to put up with all my bullshit and is now currently supporting me financially while I start and complete school at the ripe age of 26.
