What inspires the tattoos you choose to get?
My culture and my life inspires the tattoos I get. Some are inspired by instances
that have occurred in my life and a few are from my Greek culture.
You have some amazing art work, what are some of your favorites and do
you have any future plans to get more?
Some of my favorites are my owl and my Greek goddess on my back. I
plan on starting my sleeves sometime in the future. For now, I will be
working on finishing my back.
You’ve had plenty of tattoos done, but how do you go from the
initial idea to the finished design?
I give the tattoo artist a lot of freedom. If I have picked you to
do my work, I trust in your talent. I normally give my artists a
basic idea of what I want and a few references. Every time,
they draw it out better than I expected, which has made the
tattoo process simpler.
Do you like to stick to one artist, or try a number of
different ones?
I have had a few different artists tattoo me. I
consider myself an art collector and wish to
continue collecting. While I appreciate the loyalty
of some people, I think certain artists have
their strengths. When I go to someone it is
because I believe for that particular piece,
their artistic approach would be best.
