Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was the traditional doberman on my chest. Dobermans represent loyalty, protection, strength, and courage which I relate with on the deepest of levels. It's on my chest as a statement of my character and a representation of my commitment to those core values.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink would tell stories of turbulent times and growth. Most of my leg tattoos were done by myself when I was going through rehab for substance abuse when I was 20. My first tattoo is of my 94' del sol with I squashed and was lucky enough to walk away with a second chance at life. More recently however, my ink would be singing songs of good times and late nights with my closest friends, bettering ourselves together and enjoying time with the best of company.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would probably spend a good chunk of it on my back tattoos. I've made promise to myself and dedicated the right half of my back to memorialize my father who we lost in 2018. In that would be places we vacationed to as a family, landmarks of core memories we made together, and a missing man formation for those passed on to the next life all tied in with the same vine work he had on his back. Whatever doesn't get spend on that will go towards my goal of opening my own automotive customs shop.
