InkSpot - What “InkSpires” You? “In a world where the significance of art is diminished by trivial preferences of passion and entertainment, my tattoos symbolize a significance that I can’t otherwise express.” - Brandon Wyatt “Being ‘InkSpired’ represents inspiration that occurs in many forms.” - Samantha Ramirez “My tattoos are important because they eternalize tradition and other things that are important to me.” - David Johnson “I think tattoo art is an evolving culture that is a good indicator of the heart, soul, and mindset of the people who wear them.” - Gary Robertson “I get tattooed so I have constant reminders of my past, present, and future. I love the empowerment and selfexpression my tattoos provide me.” - Melissa Hayes “As someone who is a people pleaser, I ended up in some less than ideal relationships and often let myself get taken advantage of. My tattoos were one of the only things I ever did for myself. I now continue to celebrate myself and share my story through my ink!” - Sonya May 4 InkSpiredMagazine.com
