Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

The most recent tattoos are the Ø and my wife’s lips over my heart and we all recognize the symbol of Om (that was my first at 17). To focus on the centerpiece though, the Ø is my company and artist logo. I branded myself as a reminder of who I am to myself and the Ø grounds the everything and nothing that I am living for within me.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Actually, my tattoos would not say anything. They would vibrate at different frequencies tones rather. And being a sound engineer for a bit of time, it’s some pretty cool nerd/spiritual stuff I add into art. 136.1Hz specifically for the Om and Ø. The Om embodies peace, unity & grounding and resonates at the 136.1Hz level. You get the gist I won’t drown y’all lol.

What would you do with the $25,000?

So, my artists name is nøt. And my collective is called Høme. The $25k would actually mean a lot towards finishing startup costs and beginning capital, and I would also be able to put a larger portion in the non-profit side of the company as well. The main goal if I were selected would be to properly reinvest the earnings into the company avenues to keep it growing. And with a good start in the foundation I’ll be able to pool and grow the charity funds with more support after
