Why do you tattoo/pierce?
"I became interested in tattoos and piercings when I first saw how it originally came to be. Primitive peoples untouched by our civilization performing body modification as coming of age rituals, social status, beautifying oneself, and spiritual awakening."

What are your inspirations?
"I'm very inspired by organic shapes found in nature and comlicating or simplifying them. Very influenced by primitive art, Cro-Mangnon, African, Asian, South American, Aboriginal, etc. Some of my favorite artists include Giger, Dali, Calder... to name a few."

What do you have done?
"Some tattoos, lots of piercings..."

Any other hobbies, interests or anything at all?
"I like to draw, sing, write, make jewelery, eat, crochet, listen to music, read and shop."
