INK... more than a STENCIL

For as long as i can remember ive wanted to get tattoos. My dad wasn't opposed but my mom...TOOOTALLY AGAINST IT. Her words to a tee; "Your body is mine until you turn 18, after that you do what youwant." Since that convo at 12 years old (lol) i plotted the day that i got my first ink. Not being a fan of needles i was a bit apprehensive, but my passion for art outweighed the fear.

My first tatt, I drew myself. My Roman numeral IV with the

lightning and clouds. Being a Fourth for me is something that I have grown to love over the years. It is a suffix that I am proud of.

Coming from a line of great men tied together not only by blood but a name as well.

The second, a spaceship, was thought up over the love for exploration. Trying new things. Wanting to know more about any and everything. Not necessarily participating all of the time but sometimes just observing. Eric Thrice at Liberty Tattoo on ponce designed and inked.

My T with Wings was my third, and probably most painful. It was my first

by Matt Greenhalgh at Only You Tattoo. It is in memory of my grandfather who had recently passed. A tribute to a great man.

The largest of my tatts is the scorpion holding the diamond. In my head, it was a nice size but once the outline was permanent it seemed to expand way larger than i first thought. This is also my only color piece. I am a scorpio but I have always been a fan of multiple attacks. The second of matts work.

My latest but not my last...a satellite. Keeping with the space theme, the satellite was needed. Once you explore there are different ways to share your findings. what better way than a satellite.

This is the beginning of my inked up story. I never knew that I would get this many but now I feel like I don't have enough. I am not a fan of the pick off the wall variety of tattooing but of the time taken in custom pieces. I know that everyone isn't creative but knowing that someone else has the exact same tattoo as you and you aren't the first one to have it has to be a shitty thought. just my opinion tho.

THERE WILL BE MORE!!!
