Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Realizing that a persons life can end in the blink of an eye has made me realize how precious life is. This made me create a bucket list of all the things that I hold dear and wanted to do but never appreciated the time to do anything on my list. I have been given a second chance so I created the list and prioritized getting some of the items done. I have always been an artist of wildlife and pen and ink drawing but also wanted my skin to be a canvas for others to create beautiful art

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would be a blend of things that I love doing and also tells a story of what has happened to me and what I hold close to my heart I’m a very lucky person to be alive and yes I believe there were angels at my side that fateful night I want some of my work to reflect that and include aces and spades etc maybe a wolf face blended in to show strength too

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would continue with my recovery and use it to learn how to become a tattoo artist as well I love creativity and speaking through art and also have First Nations heritage so I want to say something through that line of work
