What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was the oni mask on my back which was inspired by the dualism experienced in my life how the “worst” people in the eyes of others and by the general public, have came out to be the most reliable in my experience as-well as the “most qualified” people have been the least educated in whatever topic that might be on the table, I love seeing both side of a story and got 2 sides to my own but I am not defined by one or the other but at the same time defin

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Some pieces would scream some would cry some would laugh but those pieces on me that would have the luxury to speak would speak about the good and the bad days in my life about some good friends that no longer are with us and some friends that no longer deserve that title, but at the end of the day each one will give you a little but of insight into what turned me into me.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I was lucky enough to get this money I would pay off my debts which occurred because of some of my mistakes, as well as help my parents pay off the little they have left and give them some room to breathe when it comes to their finances, lastly I would use whats left of that to finish my 1966 mustang resto-mod project.
