One of my best girlfriends was going through a really rough time in her marriage and she wanted to get her first tattoo. I drew us a matching daffodil tattoo because they’re the first flower to bloom at the end of winter indicating spring is around the corner. It was her first, and just a filler for me, but most of my tattoos are random like that. Like I once got a tattoo of an orange just cuz I lived on Orange St.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?“Can Bang Bang fill in this last spot?” When I was little I'd sit for hours putting together puzzles, and in my adult life, I'm a mosaic artist. I've been metaphorically mosaicking my body with patch work traditional tattoos for the last decade. Each tattoo represents a moment in my life and is part of who I am and my identity as a person and artist. And, now that I'm nearly out of room on my body, my tattoos have manifested into larger and more grand Mosaic art.
What would you do with the $25,000?I'm a mosaic artist and my day job is working for a Non-Profit Environmental group - so $25k would go a long way for me. I'd use the money to upgrade my living space to include an art studio, invest in nicer art materials, maybe go to Palm Springs for an extended weekend, fix the dent in my car, pay taxes.
