My ink is a living reflection of duality—light and darkness, order and chaos, strength and surrender.

Enter For FreeMy most recent piece is the back tattoo—a fierce warrior spirit with a third eye, unfinished due to a recent spinal fusion surgery. It symbolizes awakening through adversity. That pain, that healing, that stillness before it’s done—this tattoo is my process in ink. It’s not just unfinished; it’s paused, a reflection of a chapter still being written.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would tell a story of pain transformed into power. Every piece on my body reflects battles I’ve fought and the mindset I’ve forged because of them. From the warrior on my back to the Roman helmets across my chest, each tattoo is a visual manifestation of survival, transformation, and resilience. My ink doesn’t just speak—it commands presence. It would say, “I’ve been through hell, and I came back sharpened, not shattered.“
What would you do with the $25,000?Every dollar would go toward building The Paw Print Project—a foster-based animal rescue network I’m launching to pull at-risk shelter animals into safe homes. It’s my mission to make fostering accessible, sustainable, and community-powered. With this funding, we could build infrastructure, onboard chapters, provide medical aid, and save countless lives. Ink got me here—now I want to use it to give others a second chance, just like I had.
