When did you start
getting tattoos?
I got
my first tattoo on my 18th birthday.
Do you consider
tattoos as a serious art form?
Of course! It takes
serious technical skills as well as an artistic eye to create an amazing
tattoo.
How do you see the
tattoo culture right now?
It's making strides!
Tattoos are becoming a lot more widely accepted in the work force, as well as
every day society.
What has been your
inspiration for getting them?
Growing up I knew I
wanted to have a lot of tattoos. I find them attractive when done properly. And
for each piece, it varies, it could be an art piece, a movie, or just something
I like.
What’s your favorite
piece?
All of them, otherwise
they wouldn't be on my body.
Do you catch people
staring at you because of your ink?
All the time. By now,
I barely pay attention to it. Mostly they are intrigued, or have questions. I
rarely get bad reactions to them anymore.
In your opinion, do
your tattoos change your mood often?
I have to admit, some
days I can't stand people staring, or answering the questions that I have
answered a thousand times already. Most days, they make me very happy.
What’s your most significant
tattoo and why?
The most significant
one is the smallest. It's a matching tattoo with my Mom. A small Patron bee
behind our right ears.
What advice would you
give to someone wanting to get their first tattoo?
Do your research, know
what you want, and be prepared to pay for it!
Will you be getting
anymore?
Absolutely!!!
What is one thing that
life has taught you?
Tenacity. You may not
be the best, but if you work hard and stay tenacious, you will succeed.
Anything else you
would like to add?
