Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is the Medusa tattoo on my thigh. That side of my body is for nigh time so it has a galaxy underneath. I did a lot of research on the meaning of Medusa tattoos. A lot of people who have been victims of sexual abuse get this type of tattoo. That’s one of the reasons I got this tattoo. I chose to do a profile instead of straight on because I want her to be looking forward to the rest of her life.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I want the artwork on my body to collectively represent the destiny formula. Everything is energy Energy follows thought Thought creates belief Belief shapes reality And reality determines destiny. Outside of that I want my ink to speak towards my artistry and appreciation of art. I’m a visual artist, I draw and paint. I actually did the initial sketch for one of my tattoos. I want all of my ink to have depth I want it to fit my story.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would definitely get all of the ink that I’ve drawn up and planned out for the past 10 years. I would get a back piece with the chakras going up my spine (in color) and a phoenix (in black) protecting the chakras. I would also probably take the opportunity to increase my visibility of my own artwork.
