Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent which is my left arm with my Japanese sleeve. I wanted to represent the lotus as my depression and the phenix as me, but also as my “rebirth” as a person so to speak through hip hop. And the tiger kinda represents my strength to do so. I would love to get it finished, so maybe Bang Bang will help do that… lol hopefully. I really just wanted to show my love for something that helped me through a very difficult time, and also my love for hip hop to keep with me fo

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Passion for art, and music. But I think they would tell a story of my life and what I hold near and dear to my heart; since as like I said mainly my family and music. But I think they would also tell you that I watched a lot of tattoo shows as a kid. I remember from a young age always loving tattoos and mainly the art of them, but also how dope they look.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off some debt. Get a car so I can get to and from work. Get some more audio engineering equipment. Probably a light box for when I draw. Maybe invest some, I think getting some more audio equipment falls into that range. I’m not sure though, there’s a lot you can do with $25k. But I would mainly get my life back in order.
