What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is the pistols on my lower tummy. For years I had been told that I was a pistol. And when I would shoot at galleries with my actual pump action pistol I used to do tricks with it and folks started calling me a pistol slinger. So now I got pistols that look like they are tucked just into my jeans ready to pull.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

“She pretty, but she bad” is the only thought that comes to mind. My work embodies beauty, but with an edge. Each piece, regardless of size, style or placement, makes a striking impression, while embodying a distinct feminine essence. It reflects my journey of resilience over the years as I clung to my feminine energy, despite that. Each piece emphasizes on when I lacked words to express myself. Using my art to convey my feelings, even my values when I couldn’t articulate them.

What would you do with the $25,000?

At this point in my life, right now, I’d use it for a down payment for a home. I still don’t know where those roots will be. I’ve been homeless for 9 months, and have had no where to call my own. I’ve only just made enough money to buy a car for the first time in a year and a half. The last step in getting back on my feet, after losing everything I had. Whatever kind of home it ends up being. I paid all of my debts off and I have a car that runs. So I would find a home
