Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I always liked traditional spider web tattoos but I never wanted to get one on my elbows or knees because so many people have them so I figured what the heck this would look great on my stomach.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It tells stories of people, places, things, music, skateboarding, good times, sad times, family and friends living and dead, love and many great and ugly times in my life. Tattoos are one way I express myself and remember life experiences that shaped me.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to start my Non Profit that helps at risk youth and my community through skateboarding, art and music programming and events to create safe spaces and promote community wellness and togetherness. It’s an idea I’ve been working on and have been laying the groundwork for in Pomona CA where I live.
