My most recent tattoo is inspired by the florals and patterns in Persian rugs. I spent a lot of my childhood enamored by art in its many forms, lost in the intricacies of the woven rugs that my family had.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?I feel like if my tattoos could say anything they would say get a grip because they always come to me when I’m in a period of change/transition. The more tattoos that pop up on my body the more they make me feel like me.
What would you do with the $25,000?While admittedly some of the proceedings would likely make it into a tattoo and law-school fund, the proceedings would go into cancer research for children with thyroid cancer, as my experience with childhood cancer came with a lack of research in adolescent patients.
