Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was inspired by a moment of growth and change in my life. New job, new cat, new relationship, new outlook on life. I wanted something to memorialize the new direction I was taking and the new path I had set myself on.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink would say I’m layered and care deeply about my work and my art. It speaks like me. My ink is direct, not abstract, but open to deeper interpretation. Once you start the conversation with my pieces, there are stories and layers to peel back. All my ink is a reflection of my life experiences, and despite their smaller size they are loud and meaningful. They’re ready to talk.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I'd use the $25,000 to fulfill my dream of owning a custom lingerie atelier. I love working with clients one on one to design something meaningful that will become an important part of their life, whether through an event like a wedding or an intimate evening with someone they love.  Knowing the piece you designed and produced for someone is so personal, drives my passion for the work. Like a beautiful piece of ink, a unique set of lingerie can be so much more than what we wear on our body.
