Thomas OMalley

Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My great great great (and then some) grandmother was Grace O'Malley, the pirate queen of Ireland. I've always been a huge fan of pirates, octopus', and all things ocean. My recent work is on my left arm and it is a pirate ship battling a Kraken. I added in a tiny person with a pirate sword to represent Grace O'Malley. The work was done by Carl Grace out of Las Vegas and it is unique because it is from the perspective of looking at the ship head on

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

One arm would say "stay strong in the event of terror." The other would say nature is our biggest piece of artwork ever known. My left leg would say "the aftermath of the battle of Endor in Star Wars was actually a beautiful depiction of battle torn terrain and machinery." My upper back would say "Don't judge, I was 18" (It's my last name across my back)

What would you do with the $25,000?

I own and operate a Powerlifting/Strongman gym in Valrico, Florida with my wife. It has been going strong for over 5 years. It is called 813 Barbell. We are wanting to expand and open a second location in the heart of Tampa, Florida. The $25,000 is literally exactly the amount we need to put a down payment on a loan we would acquire to open our second location. It would be a dream to obtain those funds
