Which of your tattoos has the
most meaning to you?
My backpiece / Peacock. I’ve
always been in love with this
beautiful animal and his representation.
He offers lessons
about self-love, honor, integrity
and the importance of facing
life’s challenges as well as the
unknown with courage and
confidence.
Do you remember what your
first tattoo was?
Yes, as well as the learning lesson
that came with it. It was my
name "Tracey" and was very
poorly done. I'm glad to say it’s
been covered up.
Do you know how many tattoos
you have?
Lol, I lost count a while back. My
goal is a bodysuit and I'm more
than half way there.
Which tattoo hurt the most?
For now I'd have to say my armpits,
but this answer may change
after I get my throat and head
tattooed.
What is your favorite tattoo?
My backpiece / Peacock.
What inspired you to turn your
body into a canvas of beautiful
art?
Well, I've always been a fan of
body modification. I feel it has
been the perfect way for me to
express myself artistically. In
my opinion being able to share
my experiences both bad and
good through art work has
been extremely therapeutic and
cathartic.
