This is my seventh tattoo. It’s for my father, who’s squadron is the Red Hawks. It’s also the start of my sleeve which will contain animals representing my family members. 

I got this tattoo done by Adam Carrasquillo from Poison Apple Tattoo in Philadelphia and It says Ava Tu Vida which means love your life in spanish. I got it for a close friend of mine that just recently passed away. She was 36 years old when she lost her battle to cancer and i miss her more and more each day. This tattoo reminds me to love what I have in my life because you never know when it could all disappear. 

My AMAZING new portrait of my cat Christopher. This is my 9th tattoo from the oh so talented Justin Jakus of Black Diamond Tattoo in Venice, California. It took about five hours and Justin pays such great attention to detail I couldn’t be in love with this piece. 

Johnny Cupcakes inspired owl. The headphones are for my younger brother who is the only person I know that appreciates music as much as I do. The hipster glasses are the same exact ones that my youngest brother wears. (Prescription lens by the way.) The paintbrush dripped in red is for my big brother who is the artist in the family. And lastly, the Vietnamese peach flowers are for my lovely mother. 

Done in Houston at Chunky Monkey Tattoos on 1960 by Trey. An amazing artist who I’ve had the pleasure of receiving two tattoos by so far.
