Who doesn’t love a good tattoo? I’ve always had a creative mind and no problems inventing new ideas for drawings and tattoos. Better to not trust my drawings when it comes to permanently putting art on my skin though, especially now with my paralyzed hands. I’ve always seen my body as a blank canvas andContinueContinue reading “Tattoos”
