What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is inspired by Luna from Sailor Moon. She’s a symbol of wisdom, loyalty, and quiet strength—qualities I admire deeply. As the protector and guide to Sailor Moon, Luna represents the importance of being grounded and true to yourself, no matter the challenges. Her character reminds me to stay resilient and to evolve gracefully, no matter what life throws my way.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak, it would sing the lullaby of my soul: —the rabbit’s soft whisper telling me I’m gentle yet fearless, —the Luna moth’s delicate rustle promising transformation’s beauty, —Luna from Sailor Moon’s gentle purr guiding my magic, —the Gorillaz planet’s hum igniting my creative heart. Then it would lean in and murmur, ‘You are cherished, you are blossoming, you are beautifully you—carry my story with pride.&a

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won the Inked Originals contest, I’d use the money to elevate my work and make a positive impact. I’d invest in lighting and camera gear to capture my vision in the best way possible, upgrade my wardrobe with custom pieces to showcase my style, and take courses to sharpen my skills. I’d also put some aside for savings, invest in long-term growth, and donate to mental health organizations. It’s all about growing my journey while helping others along the way.
