My most recent tattoo was inspired by the sea. The sea is full of depth, longing, to be understood. There’s so much art underneath the complex layers of the sea that makes it whole. Things we couldn’t fathom to comprehend but that’s what makes it all the more beautiful in its own way. It has its own story to tell…each wave that built up its story. I feel as people, there’s so many layers of delicate intricacy woven in our own stories, that encompass who we are.

My ink each tells of a pivotal moment during many phases of my life. I got 16 of them in 3 months back to back when I was 18, lol. Even then I chose tattoos that I personally feel have meanings to me. That represent each aspect of who I was, am, and will continue to grow to be in the future. Each piece tells a story of growth. Pain, endurance, resilience. My art would say that I love my art. It taught me to self love on me HARDER. Work harder. Be better. Remain humble. Strong.

Tbh, in this economy ? It’d be nice to be able to pay off some debt and give myself a much deserved minor break. I want to be able to invest more into my business (Nails/toes/lashes) so that I can continue to focus on doing what I LOVE; helping others feel great in their skin. Art is an expression of life &therapeutic. I’d also give back to those around me who’ve supported me along the way. Maybe get another tattoo or 2, lol. Definitely save some as well.
