Learn MoreI got a scythe tattooed on my hand to remind myself to live life—because death is inevitable. Memento mori is a Latin phrase that means 'remember that you must die.' It serves as a reminder of mortality and the fleeting nature of life.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my tattoos could talk, they’d say: He loves art and tattoos. He has many passions—music, 76 , motorcycles, martial arts, his Italian-American heritage, Brooklyn, Asian art, old school flash, quotes, Memorial tattoos, lettering, and travel. He’s a tattoo collector. He loves his family. 'Carpe Diem' is tattooed on his back—(it was done when I was 19 years old). It means Seize the day. Stay True across my Knuckles.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the $25,000 for positive things—Tattoos and Music, helping with bills, and covering expenses from a new business venture. I’d also donate a portion to charity.
