Learn MoreMy most recent piece is a cumulation of generations. I wanted to honor my children and grandchildren by keeping them close to me as they grow. Each flower represents a daughter or grandchild. The red rose represents the grandson I will never know as he was privately adopted out. They are woven together as they are in life and tell their story.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would tell you a story about a girl, born into chaos and not meant to survive. But that spark within her stayed that, a spark. As time went by, her experiences fed that spark into a flame. The pain made her grow from the flames and rise above as much as the mythical Phoenix now adorned on her side. It rises above and beat the odds. She who is brave is free…❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
What would you do with the $25,000?There’s always credit card debt and being responsible…but I would probably put a huge majority of it into more ink. Next piece is Shunga. I’m working on an octopus wrapped around my left thigh with tentacles leading to naughty places. I’ve always secretly wanted a Japanese full body design. 😊
