I’m a coffee lover. My coffee bean and cup tattooed by Kevin Lockwood at High Voltage Tattoo and Piercing in Batavia, NY
Santo Nino, or Saint Nino, has been a religous figure that has followed me throughout my childhood. As the patron saint of children, my mom has had figurines of him in my bedroom to continuously guide and bless me. Now that I’m a college student, I still have a figurine of him in my apartment to watch over me.

The pirate woman is for me the allegory of pure Anarchy, the eternal spirit of freedom and revolt

This is just after its completion, so its a little raw, but this is my line art NC tattoo done by Danny Reed at Hot Stuff tattoo in Asheville NC. I’m an NC & AVL native, so how could I go wrong showing my love for the ol’ north state? Danny is an amazing artist, and a super cool dude to boot. Give him an idea, and he always comes up with something special. Highly recommend his shop.
‘Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover’

I got this tattoo to go along with one of my favorite quotes by Mark Twain. It was done at A Fu Kein Good Tattoo in Jacksonville, Fl.
