-Have you ever received a tattoo under the influence of drugs or alcohol? Actually one of my most popular tattoos was very much so while i was drunk. I have “free” going down my neck.one day after a late shift my friends and I just decided to go to the city at midnight to hangout and get piercings and tattoos. At first i didn’t know what I was going to get, but after a few drinks and a good time with good friends I realized that there is nothing holding me back from doing what I want and being happy. to me that is truly being free.

-Do you regret any tattoos you have? I throughout all of my body art i have no regrets!! i’ve once gotten a tattoo to represent my bf at the time and even that isn’t a regret.
-Are you a tattoo addict? No, not at all!! I hate the feeling, I hate the healing, but I love every single piece! I’m not like a pack rat for my skin. I love the fact that each picture has a story, and takes me back to a specific date and time that ill never forget. So I wouldn’t say I’m a tattoo addict, I would say iIm on a tattoo journey!!!!!!!!! :-}
