What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I do ghost tours for a living and at the time I got my ghost cow tattoo I was living in fort worth, my birth place, and it is nicknamed "cowtown" my trainer and I were just bs-ing at work and there was a convention and we wanted to honor our ending of training and my beginning on my new journey with ghost tours so we got ghosts and i got a ghost cow cuz cow town. I do them in san antonio now and I am thinking of ways to ink that experience on my body so I am looking for a new one.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

They would explain the stories behind them, I have Frankenstein and his bride facing each other but not looking at each other. One tormented at becoming a monster and the other heartbroken because the one made for him doesn't love him. And one with the witch being tied and burn. She would speak of her persecution and the feelings of being wrongfully accused. I choose to put on my body isn't just ink but a medium to express these stories in new light. I also love anything strange, dark,beautiful

What would you do with the $25,000?

I love tattoos I think they are beautiful and it makes me feel beautiful and my true self. First I would start by getting my sleeve I have been wanting since I was a teen and next my entire back for years and then my leg would get sleeves and just finally feel good in my skin in my way. Everything that shows who I am on my skin.
