My most recent tattoo is a classic Sailor Jerry piece on the back of my left arm that reads "Mom" and "Dad", with an arrow striking through two hearts. I was inspired to get this tattoo because it represents the unconditional gratitude and love I have for my family. Plus, I'm a big fan of classic American traditional tattoos.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would say "you can't tell me who to be". Every piece I have represents independence and loyalty to my own path. With the belief that real growth comes from staying true to yourself, not fitting into someone else's idea of who you should be.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I received $25,000, I would start by donating a portion to people and communities in need. I would also give back to my family as a way of thanking them for everything they've done to help support me. The rest, I would save and invest into building my future career in the tattoo industry, putting it towards education, equipment, and eventually opening a studio of my own.
