WALTS
When Crystal decided to get her first tattoo, she definitely had the
thought in mind, go big or go home. When Crystal was nineteen
she went to Sacred Heart Tattoo in Vancouver to get a three-quarter
sleeve; her largest tattoo yet. She doesn’t regret a thing.
“My three-quarter sleeve tattoo is of the four seasons; winter,
spring, summer and fall. What inspired me to have a fetus in the
center of the sun was my soon to be little sister Keira. My mother,
Deanna, became pregnant in the summer which was the same time
I was planning this tattoo. I wanted it to represent Keira as the light
of my life”.
The tops of Crystals feet are also tattooed. One, as an evil jack-olantern because she is born in October and she believes Halloween
is the best time of year. The second, a beautifully done sea turtle.
Crystal says, “the Pennywise Full Circle and Misfits Crimson Ghost
are with me forever, along with a Frankencake, my own weird idea
of having the Frankenstein monster’s face as an evil cupcake.”
Several other works are sprawled on her skin ranging from nautical
stars, Friday the 13th creations, skulls and crossbones, roses and
one of her all time favourites, a Lego Ninja Turtle. “Of course it’s of
Michelangelo because he’s the best ninja turtle!” says Crystal.
