TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF?
I’VE STARTED THIS YEAR TO PLAY WITH DESIGNING A LOT OF DIFFERENT STUFF. FASHION HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF MYSELF BUT ALSO JEWELLERY SO I’M WORKING ON A FEW PIECES THAT SHOULD BE FUN TO WORK ON.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START TATTOOING?
I COULDN’T AFFORD TO GET TATTOOED SO I’VE DONE IT MYSELF.
WHAT ARE THINGS YOU LOVE ABOUT THE INDUSTRY?
THAT WE MAKE FRIENDS AND CAN TRAVEL ALL OVER THE WORLD.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE MOMENT IN YOUR CAREER, OR EVEN A FAVOURITE TATTOO, THAT YOU LOOK BACK ON FONDLY?
IT’S NOT A MOMENT IN PARTICULAR BUT THE OPPORTUNITY THAT IT GAVE ME. IT’S ONLY THE BEGINNING FOR MYSELF.
WHAT’S BEEN THE HARDEST THING ABOUT PAVING YOUR OWN WAY IN THE INDUSTRY?
NOTHING LOL IT’S BEEN SUPER EASY, THE HARDEST IT’S TO COME OUT OF IT NOW AND TRYING DIFFERENT MEDIA’S.
LIVING IN LONDON, WHAT ABOUT THE CITY CREATIVELY INSPIRES YOU?
WE ARE ALL CREATIVES HERE AND FROM ALL CULTURES AND COUNTRIES. SO IT’S SO RICH IN IDEAS AND INSPIRATIONS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS FOR THE FUTURE, OUTSIDE OF TATTOOING?
CREATING AND DESIGNING A LOT MORE FUN STUFF. TATTOOS WERE ONLY THE BEGINNING TO MY SELF EXPRESSION.
