The meaning of my artwork has evolved just as my story has. From seeking to declaring; my tattoos tell the tale of restoration.

My most recent tattoo was the completion of my right sleeve. Most of us with a lot of tattoo work, know what it feels like to have an unfinished piece…. Not amazing! Having this completed right before a huge life move, couldn’t have come at a more meaningful time. Unfinished for 17 years, but finished exactly on time ;)
If your ink could speak, what would it say?This ink would tell you about family, friends, favorite things, favorite people, loved ones lost and what others live for. Over time.. some meaning has changed and that duality in itself, has taught me to be thankful throughout all resiliencies. Life has many unforeseen turns, but the beauty that comes from the journey ; is worth talking about because it’s what shines brightly in this world. Let’s lift each other up. Iron sharpens iron!
What would you do with the $25,000?This would greatly impact the lives of many around me.. continuously! A portion would go towards a new nonprofit project, which comes alongside women and children - to be safe and secure, after abuse. The other portion would go towards my mobile salon/barbershop build out. I have the trailer..I just need the remodel. This personal passion project would be used to provide a safe space in the community - to positively impact individuals where they’re at, with beauty & grooming services.
