I've been down a long road in prison since 2011-2024. My tattoos tell stories of my native American culture, my family and prison life.
Join now for your shot at $25,000, a tattoo session with Bang Bang, and a feature in Inked Magazine!
Enter For FreeMy native culture. I am a member of the Mississippi band of Choctaw Indians. My ancestors and family today is what inspired most of my tattoos.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Years and years of pain, abandonment, the outcast most of my life. During my prison time I've lost my father and Daughter. My daughter murdered at the age of 18 in 2015.
What would you do with the $25,000?I have 12 children, one gone. My family is what I would spend it on and also it would help me with getting my own native owned tattoo shop going. I am also a very talented artist/tattoo artist. Most of my work comes from prison and I would also get most of my work touched up. With this money it would definitely turn my life around as I'm currently working on myself for a better outcome for my family and myself. I would like to put my Choctaw tribe out there for the world to see.
