My last work was a Black and Grey Japanese arm sleeve I started and finished in 2024. I’ve always respected the history of Japanese tattooing and wanted a sleeve to showcase the clean work and love of tattooing history. I got pieces that meant something to me. I got a FooDog representing protection, a frog w/ coins meaning good fortune, Hannya Mask protecting from past evil, a samurai for its warrior spirit, and a Japanese fan representing change.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink all has a special meaning to me, every piece I have has great value and memories. They’re great conversations pieces, I’ve always been the type to get something for a certain reason whether it was a memory that I cherish or just core values that I like to think I have. They may not be perfect but I love every one even through the pain it was to get them. My first tattoo was when I was 16, I’m 26 now and have been addicted for the last 10 years!
What would you do with the $25,000?With the money I’d like to invest it into my girlfriends pet grooming business. She’s been doing it for the last 3 years and just opened up her own place in April 2025 and I’d like to help her get into a bigger shop. I’d also pay off some of my own bills. The 25K would be extremely generous and helpful to me and my family.
