What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My son passed away of a rare cancer so I got a portrait of him on my wife’s chest. A reminder to never give up and my why to keep pushing and fighting.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I will never give up being the best human I can be and my strength will always be a promise to anyone I encounter.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would be able to pay my mortgage as I run a non profit honoring my son. Axel Crew Foundation. Where we take care of the parents whose children are fighting pediatric cancer and my wife is in nursing school
