Learn MoreI recently got my phoenix tattoo with the goal of filling a space between two older tattoos, in a way that would improve their aesthetics. I like how now there is a blend of traditional style with a fine line delicate style. I chose the phoenix rising because I was resurrecting dreams that had died. And reconnecting with parts of myself that life had burned away, like the phoenix from the ashes. It tied in with the symbolism of the older tattoos too.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Hmmm.. I think it would say it wants to take over my whole body. But honestly, they are telling a story of coming back to Self… and the expansion of consciousness through the overcoming of different situations we grow through. And they also represent how that story is somehow already written in our name from birth.
What would you do with the $25,000?I recently left my 9-5 to live a more authentic life & started a business, Supernatural Sounds, LLC. So this would give me some extra working capital so I can continue engaging the power of sound to hopefully help people heal & inspire.
