Learn MoreBeing in the right place at the right time. We went to Cuba for a baseball goodwill trip. We asked the bartender to set us up with a tattoo artist. First guy double booked. Mad scramble to fix and we met Aliex. Learning so much about the basic needs they struggle to live without. We planned a trip and brought supplies for a safe baby delivery and tattoo supplies to help with his small business. We have been 4 times now and i always wish there was more i could do. 2 pages would be great exposure!
If your ink could speak, what would it say?"Thank you!" I let him design, stencil and tattoo my arm without even looking till he was done. Every part has a meaning and a purpose for being there. It is his Thank you for helping with his family.
What would you do with the $25,000?Most definitely go to Cuba! With a suitcase full of tattoo supplies for him and a couple copies of Inked Magazine to give him and his family.
