Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most reason tattoo was done to help inspire my coworkers. I would as a tattoo apprentice so, recently, my tattoos were practice for the other artists. My most recent tattoo was inspired by the music industry too. I got the parental advisory warning label you see on album covers. The tattoo is an inside joke because if I draw anything someone finds offensive I can say I warned them.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak it would be a loud nonsensical discussion between may different tattoos. You would hear different skulls talking with snakes, lions, and other animals. My tattoos would tell you that I may not think too much but I definitely care about their well being.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would first look towards Texas. My favorite artist Jay Joree works out of the third eye gallery in Dallas. I have wanted her to tattoo my neck for years now. I specifically want her to do it because of her style. I consider her style to be neotradional but in an entirely unique way. Her flower designs are so unique from the color she uses to the design of her tattoos. I can't say for sure what else I would spend the money on but probably take a trip to England for another tattoo trip.
