Since I was 4 I fell in love with creating just about anything, it became my escape from reality.

I am a Tattoo Artist going on 2 years now, but I started off painting and sketching. Now, to be able to create something meaningful and beautiful on a permanent canvas gives art a new meaning to me. Nothing brings me more joy than the smile or tears I bring to someone’s face from my work.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere, from the sky to the ground, my mind is constantly thinking of new ideas. There’s a beauty in the simplicity of the world that inspires me in ways I can barely explain.
What would you do with $25,000?Being a Tattoo Artist, I am my own business, and though it is amazing I know being able to afford a tattoo is a privilege. With that kind of money I would be able to grow my tattoo business, and afford to keep doing what I love. This is my dream and I’ll do anything to make it memorable.
