What inspired your most recent tattoo?

The pain of losing my children to adoption a little over four years ago. It says haunted above my right eye. Because I am. By the memory and regret of mistakes made and pursuing the wrong pathways. It’s a visual reminder every day when I look into the mirror…. To be a better me than yesterday, and the man and father the deserved in the first place.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It’s been a long road. Feels like a hundred years. We have lived thru all of our worst days and seen the outcomes that creates. We are pain, regret, disbelief and long forgotten memories etched as a story for everyone to see and interpret.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use it to put a down payment on a home for my family and bank the rest as an investment in my future tattoo studio. I have such a long road to go to reach the points that I want to reach but $25k would make that so much easier and would help me realize it so much faster. My family deserves the world and I want to give them the same.
