The WAVE: JUNE '17

Which of your tattoos has the most
meaning?
I don’t usually get tattoos for their 'meaning,'
per say, usually I choose my pieces
for their artistic properties. However, I
guess if I had to pick one tattoo that has
'the most meaning' to me, it would be the
vampire chick on the inside of left forearm
that I got at a tattoo convention.
What was your first tattoo?
I got my first tattoo at a shop that my hair
stylist at the time recommended to me
when I was 18. It's a black Chi Rho with
Alpha and Omega signs inside of it. I
designed the tattoo myself.
How many tattoos do you have?
Honestly, I have no idea, haha. Do you
count every piece in a full sleeve? God, I
wouldn’t even know where to begin!
Which tattoo hurt the most?
The tattoo that hurt the most is by far
my tattoo on the outer side of my right
calf sleeve. I almost went into shock, the
medics kept asking if I needed their help,
haha. It hurt like hell!!!
What is your favorite tattoo?
I don't think I have a single favorite piece.
My whole left arm sleeve is my favorite,
but with all of the pieces combined.
What inspired you to turn your body into
a canvas of beautiful art?
I've loved tattoos ever since I was a teenager.
A friend of mine introduced me
to the Chi Rho and I think that's when
I first started fantasizing about getting
inked. My accessories are my tattoos. It's
almost as if they show how I view the
world.
