For me, it is the desire to help reconnect others to their roots. Whether it's to find community, to find belonging, or to also help others.

Where do you find inspiration?Nature is wild and unpredictable but shows me how taking elements from what I observed into my art. And how I can stylize motifs to in order to tell a story on skin. Modern architecture is repetitive and controlled which also reflects the framework and motifs I use to in my tattoos. These are the core inspirations towards how I do what I do.
What would you do with $25,000?I had a vision on a tattoo studio that provided a space for artists of the tattoo or body modification industry who practice the traditional/modern techniques and art from where their family originated. I want a space to educate, inspire, and help grow a community of artists who want to constantly learn and improve in and outside of their workspace.
