I want to make an impact on society. I want my name to stay in people’s minds. I don’t want my life which will end someday to feel wasted.

I love both painting and tattooing because I love creating from emotion and imagination. My favorite part is working with clients, hearing their stories, and turning meaningful moments into art. It reminds me how every person carries a completely different world inside them.
Where do you find inspiration?Art has been part of me since childhood. I remember drawing on my friends’ hands during math class instead of paying attention, and everyone loved it. I find inspiration in emotions, people, music, dreams, and everyday life.
What would you do with $25,000?I would open my own small art and tattoo studio where I could paint, tattoo, and fully express my creativity. It would help me invest in my future and continue growing as an artist.
