I love art because it’s healing. People don’t realize how much it’s needed and how important having a creative outlet truly is.

I am a tattoo artist, which I love very much. But I also paint as well which would be my favorite type of art outside of my tattoos.
Where do you find inspiration?I grew up in a super multi faceted family when it comes to art. So I’ve always been surrounded by it. I tattoo, paint, draw, play guitar, and sing and make other forms of music. It’s always hard to focus on one. But I try to simultaneously pull inspiration out of each one while focusing on the other. Weird, but it works!
What would you do with $25,000?I would probably start getting things together to be able to travel and spread my art around more. I think a mobile tattoo van would be pretty insane. Meeting new people, sharing my art, and getting to leave parts of me behind everywhere would be so cool.
