Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I’ve always wanted a large scale back piece and I found an artist I really liked and just let her have creative freedom. As an artist I know how exciting and passionate a project can get when given creative freedom. I have one session left on my back and I’m really stoked about it.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak it would have a lot to say. There’s so much documented eras of my life on my body. From when I first started getting tattooed at 15, to my early 20’s of getting my first big pieces, pre and post my throat tattoo era, all the shitty tattoos I gave myself when i was learning to tattoo, drunk night tattoos, tattoos from friends who have never tattooed by wanted to try, even my best friends ten year old nephew has tattooed me. My sketchbook skin has a lot to say.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With 25k I would invest in upgrading all my work equipment, give myself a little bit of a break to get back to painting and creating for myself again, I’d take my best friends out for a sexy little dinner and a night out, spoil my mom, and save the rest for a rainy day.
