What inspired your most recent tattoo?

When I opened my shop I wanted to make sure to include the reason I did it which was for my daughters. My youngest is disabled with autism so I got a bird cage with 4 birds flying out to represent nothing can hold them back then I incorporated it into my logo.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink would tell my story of overcoming mental illness, a troubled childhood, love, loss, strength, finally finding peace and pride in my Irish roots.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would put the money back into my shop and be able to continue supporting and show casing the artist work of younger people in the community and use tattoos to bring awareness for different causes. I'd really like to offer free tattoos to victims of self harm or abuse.
