What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was a skeleton on a motorcycle inspired by my love for two wheels. The bike tried to take me out last June leaving me with a broken clavicle, 4 broken ribs, and a banged up hip leading to a rough recovery. But through it all, I was just thinking about when I would be able to get back on it. I feel like motorcycles and tattoos go hand in hand in that they both represent freedom and self representation.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink would tell of how much I love my family, nature, and free-will. I love being covered with precious art that someone poured hours into and sharing that connection with the artist.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would definitely take care of some debt as well as picking up a project bike that my girlfriend and I could spend some hours on together. It’s beautiful sharing the same passion with someone who I am so passionate about. The $25,000 would be life changing at this point in my life.
