So incredibly honored to be chosen for this months cover of @skinandinkmag ❤️‍🔥 (Especially since it’s my first magazine cover ever, woah.) I started tattooing right before Instagram became the industry’s main platform, back when tattoo magazines were everything. They were how we discovered the world’s best artists, set industry standards, and immersed ourselves in tattoo culture. I’ve flipped through hundreds of these magazines, including Skin & Ink, studying the work of artists I admired—those pages fueled my passion and pushed me to evolve. Thank you to @amber_mannon for these amazing photos, opening this door for me, always believing in me, and for your years of friendship 🤍 Check out my 8 page spread, and grab your copy at skininkshop.com 🔥
