What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent one was for my dad because of how he grew up in Malta they had a saying that they would say every morning which was virtuous et honor to live your life with virtue and honor as well as the Icarus tattoo I got after having a couple of seizures it made me realize that I need to find balance in my life the vivere is to push my limits and the mori is to remind myself that we all must die

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink is a subtle reminder that no matter where I am I need to ground myself to my roots on how I view myself living an ample life, treating everything with virtue, honorably, reminding myself that sometimes it’s not enough and I can do more but also to slow down and enjoy everything, my first tattoo on my wrist resembles the god Nike and to live for fighting for freedom and victory for everyone around me

What would you do with the $25,000?

I honestly would fill up my entire right leg and my left arm as well as my back I already have an idea of exactly what I want. For me the tattoos resemble what I want to achieve in life and how I’ll get there something like from prison break, it’s a story to tell that I can’t do with my tonality cause actions speak louder than words and tattoos speak louder than anything.
