Each of my tattoos holds meaning—horror for my obsession, insects for my passion and hidden symbols honoring love, loss, and family.

Horror has always been my comfort zone — the fear, the tension, all of it. My latest tattoos (my horror leg sleeve) is a way of keeping that love of fear.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?This is everything I couldn’t say out loud — every fear, every love, every loss. And I wear it everyday.
What would you do with the $25,000?I was taken from my parents when I was 6, along with my sister for neglect and drug abuse. My aunt stepped in and took us in, gave us a home, and kept us safe. Now, with everything she’s done for me, especially as she battles cancer, I’d use that money to help with her bills and make sure she’s supported. She’s been my family when I didn’t have one, and I’d do whatever it takes to give back.
