Well I wouldn't say my ink is any more unique than anyone else's. It is just personalized to me which is exactly why I love it.

Learn MoreSurvival in an unjust system. My Beetlejuice sleeve is my most recent piece. The movie was my "comfort balnket" growing up. Most people see it a a comedy but I see it as a true story about survival. I survived autoimmune conditions, addiction, homelessness. Beetlejuice couldn't survive the pain and tried taking his life hoping for relief just to be put in an eternal hell serving others. When he didn't play by "Hells" rules he was outcast further into impossible circumstance
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak it would say I am loved. I was thoughtfully created, and now I get to exist. To always be present in this world and when someone happens to see me and connects with me then they will connect with my owner. Not only do i decorate my owner i know i make her feel beautiful and whole and always inspire her. I was not easy, I was painful yet my owner loves me enough to continue pushing forward to create me in its entirety. I am loud...I am love...I am beauty.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would of course want to invest in a new piece. Something to showcase not just my Taino roots but also my starseed roots! I would love to treat myself and my children to something we would not have been able to experience otherwise. Also I didn't know it was a cash prize I thought I was competing for a tattoo exoerience so anything extra would be a beautiful blessing.
