Moving to New York City from Colombia is been a crazy and hard journey so I got tattooed to keep this moment alive on my skin as a reminder that I’m strong and brave! That I’m free to build the life I want to, and that’s basically what I’ve been doing with all of my art skin, a collector of memories, the proof that i lived as i wanted!
If your ink could speak, what would it say?It would definitely tell the story of my life divided by chapters, beautiful and also hard stories that remember me how brave I’ve been and the beauty in life, my family, friends, and people I’ve loved. The human experience written on my skin, feeling proud of myself and a reminder to keep going no matter what!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would love to buy my first tattoo machine and start making art pieces for people who also wants to share their stories on their skin, I would love to invest that money on keep the legacy! For the arts love!
