What motivated you to get tattooed in the first place?
Honestly, when I was younger I just thought they were cool and a fun outlet for self expression. But as I get older I realize that I've never really been super confident with my body, tattoos have been a way to make me feel confident and more like myself.
How many tattoos do you currently have?
30.
What was your first tattoo and why did you select it?
A heart on my middle finger. I chose it because it was my first time in the Philippines and I was 14 years old, my dad was getting tattoos and when he was done I wanted to get one too. So I asked the artist to do something little for me and QUICKLY before my parents could say no. (lol only in the Philippines...)
Which one of your tattoos would you say is your favourite?
So hard to choose! Probably the lines on my hands.
What artist(s) would you like to get tattooed by?
Alvaro Groznyy (@alvarogroznyy).
What do you like about the particular style(s) of tattoos that you've chosen to get done?
I don't think I have one specific style of tattoo. They go from stick and pokes, to learning how to use a tattoo gun on myself, to thin lines, to super bold lines. Regardless of not having one specific style, I like that they authentically represent me or a time in my life.
