#Artist Spotlight: Brian O'Hare ~Owner of @DstrctvBehavior
Please welcome
Brian O'Hare
Owner of Destructive Behavior Designs, artist, graphic designer, tattoo artist and all around awesome guy...
What's the strangest place you've been asked to ink?
~ The strangest place I have ever been asked to tattoo, hmmmm this is tough and kind of embarrassing…lol While I was in the Army, when we returned from Afghanistan a Soldier asked me to tattoo a “smiley face” on his…. Not a toe HAHAHA I told him he couldn’t afford my prices for that one.
T-Shirt design for the new lineDo you prefer the ability to free-hand artwork or have someone come in with exactly what they want?
~ I think all tattoo artist prefer the free-hand. In my opinion the only way to have a truly original one off piece is to have either the artist draw directly on you or just bust the machine out and go to town. I am a huge fan of pulling out my sharpies and going step by step and then creating something breath taking!
What is one of your favorite pieces you'd inked?
~ I think every piece I have done is my favorite? Does that sound conceited? An artist I am good friends with asked me once, “What’s your best piece you have done?” I gave my answer and he told me I was wrong. I was confused because it was in my eyes my best piece. He told me that “your best piece is always the next one you do!” Words I live by now! I always strive to be better then the last, whether it is tattooing, painting, graphic art, or photography. My next piece will always be my best.
Awesome PhotoShop of Brian's 'O' :P
How long have you been a tattoo artist?
~ I have been tattooing for just short of 7 years.
What made you try your hand at putting art to skin?
~ I was deployed in Iraq, being bored I started drawing. Then people started asking if I would design tattoos for them. At $50 a drawing no one was complaining. Then, THEN I found out my boss was tattooing! People would come to me pay for the design, then go to him…lol So he asked me if I wanted to learn how to tattoo, “Ummmmm…..YES!” the rest is history!
Give me four sentences that sum you up: what you do, who you are, where you've been...
The first bomb drop I ever coordinated.~You know, you ask a lot for these interviews…lol A little about me, I am a father, a son, a Soldier, and over all badass…lol No seriously, I am starting my own graphic design company, I am head of marketing and advertising for a company called Rod Iron Crew Inc., as well I am in the midst of starting a clothing line. I like to stay busy! I am a father I think that’s my biggest focus! My father has been my best friend my whole life and well now that I have a 3 year old son running around I think being the best father I can be is the most important thing in my eyes.
I served in the military for 10 years, 4 years in the air force, got out for a few years became a motorcycle mechanic and then met my ex-wife and decided that I needed to provide for my family, which led me to 6 years in the Army. Two deployments one to Iraq, and one to Afghanistan and I sit before you a humbled and grateful man. Those 6 years were the hardest years of my life. Not physically, but mentally, I lost 6 close friends in the last 2 years due to deployment related incidents. Five of those were combat related and one was because he couldn’t deal with his demons, and well a fatal car accident took his life.

I live with PTSD and try to have a “normal” life. But, what’s normal when you sleep about 4 hours a night, wake up in a cold sweat and scream in your dreams? But with all that being said, some of the best memories I have come from meeting people while in the Army and I would never give the good or bad back to say I didn’t do it. I embrace my demons they make me who I am today!
What was your first tattoo? Does it have meaning to you?
~ My first tattoo was 3 Kanji symbols on my stomach. I loved Tupac but this white boy can’t get thug life on his stomach. Strength, Courage, Knowledge these are in the Serenity Prayer. As a teenager I battled with drug addiction and it’s a constant reminder that no matter what I can get through anything that is placed before me! So that’s the meaning behind that. But all of my tattoos have meaning. You could read my life’s story by looking at my tattoo’s, There’s a lot of them, basically one for every major event in my life.
Do you have any that you regret getting?
~ HA! Funny question!! Do I have any that I regret? Yes, I got my first wife’s initials tattooed on my forearm, then I met my second ex-wife (Another topic totally) and I told her that I would get it covered one day. 3 years later I got it covered! So I then had a half sleeve, I was like sweet, I am half way to my sleeve. Then I come home from Afghanistan to a 12 pack of Corona and divorce papers. FML! Now I have a half sleeve dedicated to 2 ex-wives! (shaking my head and laughing) but what it is now is not anything I regret because I covered it with some awesome stuff!
If you had to pick a favorite piece of ink, which would it be and why?
~ My sleeve is my favorite piece I have! Now that everyone knows what half of it is, the other half tells everyone about me. It has 8 skulls in smoke from my wrist to my shoulder symbolizing me, my father and my son (below the elbow) then there is a bone piston, sprocket and chain (passion for motorcycles), a bomb (represents the bombs I dropped in Afghanistan) with cross cannons indicates the branch or Army I was in Field Artillery) I was a Forward Observer and 2 stars (indicates the 2 deployments), My sons name on the inside of my Bicep so he is always close to my heart., and a huge spark plug (the spark of life if you will), then all the stars on the lower part of my arm are the Ohio State colors, have a deployment patch in one of them, a blue nautical star for my son, and the words Father & Son.
Do you have more tats planned?
~ I don’t have anything planned at this moment but that’s because I am so busy working on other people’s stuff that I don’t have time for myself. HAHA But, I think the words Determination on my right index finger/thumb area for my determination to be the best artist and business owner I can be and then the word Dedication same area just on my left hand. I think that will be my next symbol of commitment to a woman. Who needs a ring anyways?! HAHA
Just a look at doing some work.
Do you buy into tattoos being addictive once you start getting them?
~ Yes and no, because if you have the money you will get one if you want it. Addiction…ehhh…no because I don’t know anyone who breaks into homes to support their tattoo addiction. HAHA but yes to me they will draw you back again and again for some odd reason. For me it’s because my skin is just another way for me to show off my art, and tell my story.
What's your life plans for the immediate future? Long-term?
~ My plans for the immediate future are to get my graphic design company and clothing line up and running and profitable.Long term goals are a bit more difficult, I basically want to take over the world! No seriously though, I have a friend who is planning on running for President, and I am going to do his marketing and such. So besides continuing to be a successful businessmen and amazing father, I hope to have that special woman in my life and share my achievements with her. And celebrate being part of a winning Presidency race.
Lea's Note: Do you see Danica? He wants to take over the world too... Damn, means we're sharing power with someone else. :P
What's something about yourself that most people don't know?
~ This is tough because I tend to be very private. Every piece of my art that I do personally, not that I get commissioned to do, tells something about me. You just have to study the title and the piece itself and it will tell you a story. I am deep like that I guess.
If you were a superhero, what would your power be? Your weakness?
~ Man, this is like every kids dream right here, a superhero power, I think the ability to fly would be my power. I think flying would be peaceful and down right badass! My weakness, oh man I think this is an actual weakness so shhhh…don’t tell anyone. A woman with blonde hair and green eyes, does that count? HAHA Um, I think if I were a superhero and actually had a weakness it would honestly be kids. I love kids and I think because I am a big kid I get easily distracted. HAHA
Favorite TV show or station?
My favorite TV show is Overhaulin. It’s amazing what a group of people can do to create a car that one man draws up. But more importantly they bring true joy to people’s lives. I mean have you seen the reactions of some of those people? The only time I have reacted like that is coming home from my deployments and seeing my family!
What's your 'go to' comfort item (food, place, drink, etc)?
~ My ‘go-to’ comfort item is paper, pencil, and usually a corona! Those allow me to escape my mind or reality for awhile. It allows me to relieve that stress in a manner that could potentially touch someone’s life in the future.

If there were no $ or time limitations, where would you be right now and what would you be doing?
~ I would be in Ireland or Scotland. I would be with my son, my dad, and that very special woman!
Do you enjoy reading? Who's your fav author, or your fav type of book (suspense, mystery, biography, paranormal, etc)?
I don’t read much at all honestly. I am a very visual person, so I would rather look at a car or motorcycle magazine and figure out how they created the beautiful piece of machinery.

Bottle or can? Bottle

Muscle car or motorcycle? Not fair! I grew up working on cars with my dad and that formed into my own passion for cars and motorcycles.

Tattoo Tuesday - Ryan Steel #tattootuesday
WelcomeRyan Steelto Tattoo Tuesday
Four sentences that some you up:
I am an exotic male entertainer that has been performing for about thirteen years. I grew up as a very active person; I enjoyed playing sports and working out. Music was also a big part in my life, which contributes to my performance on stage as a male dancer. I have lived coast to coast, I have traveled most of the country and I’m very thankful for all my family, friends and fans that have supported me along the way!
What was your first tattoo? And it’s meaning to you?
My first tattoo was a kabuki mask. It represents my love for the performing arts and entertainment.
Do you have any tattoos that you regret getting?
No, they all represent who I am today and they all have their own meaning. Not to mention I designed most of them.
Do you have more tattoos planned?
Yes, and I can’t wait!
Do you buy into tattoos being addictive once you start getting them?
No, but I do see the pattern of having a tattoo and adding to it, or wanting more. I think addiction is too strong of a word because no matter if a person wants something or not, more or less, it does not mean they are addictive. It may just be something they really like having.
What is your life plans for the immediate future? Long term?
My immediate future is to expand with my new exotic dance group, The Studs Of Steel, and tour as much as possible, working hard to make a better future for my long-term goal. My long-term goal is to settle down, have kids, and love and support my beautiful family.
What’s something about you that most people don’t know?
I am a talented drummer and I’ve been in a few bands that have toured the country. I am a BIG kid at heart, I collect “Lord Of The Rings” action figures, and my newest interest is “The Walking Dead” action figures. I am also a big MMA fan! I have recently been chosen by one of New Yorks Best Selling, Melissa Foster, to have a fiction, steamy, romance novel, series about my current life.
If you were a super hero, what would your powers be? Your weakness?
My power would be to read minds. My weakness would be finding out the “bad” things that people really think.
What is your favorite TV show?
“The Walking Dead.”
If there were no money or time limitation, where would you be right now and what would you be doing?
I’d be in a warm, beautiful place with the ones I love, family and friends, living life with ease and no worries.
Quick Questions:
Bottle or Can: Bottle.
Chocolate or Vanilla: Strawberry, but between the two vanilla.
Muscle car or Motor Cycle: Muscle Car.

Lolita:
Are you a plotter or a pantser, or a hybrid?
I'm a bit of both. I typically do a loose outline of a novel to make sure I hit all the "tent pole" scenes as I call them. You know, the big, important scenes that hold up the fabric of the remainder of the book.
The only time I pants without an outline is when I'm writing erotic short stories. Those I just plow through, beginning to end, without stopping. Once I get in that mood, there's no reason to pull back, you know?
Blurb:Grabbed, Book Three
To escape her father's debt to a loan shark, Dizzy seeks refuge in the upcoming Grab. She’d rather belong to one of those terrifying sky warriors from the battleship Valiant than to the sleazy criminal who wants her as his plaything.
The years of constant war haven’t been kind to highly decorated sniper Venom. Only the promise of earning a wife kept him going through deadly battles. Catching and collaring Dizzy fills him with incredible hope. Finally he has a woman of his own, a mate to love—and bind and adorn with his ropes.
After a brazen Splinter attack, the Shadow Force uncovers secrets about Dizzy’s late mother that entangle her in a web of deceit. To save Venom, her father and an operative named Terror, Dizzy digs deep and risks it all.
Venom refuses to stand idly by while Dizzy’s haunted past threatens the future they’re trying to build. He finally has a reason for living—and he’s not giving her up.

Cynthia:
Are you a plotter or a pantser, or a hybrid?
I’m definitely a pantser. I try to plan stories and these plans always fail. The Barbarian Claims series is a great example of this. It was supposed to be three novellas long. During these first three novellas (Warlord’s Bounty, Warlord Unarmed, Warlord Reunited), I tried to kill off Tolui, the baddie. This clone-loving Warlord would NOT die. He continually outsmarted me, surviving my characters’ plots to end his life, earning my admiration and pricking my curiosity. I HAD to write his story (Warlord’s Mercy) and I’m glad I did. It is my favorite of the four stories and a great ending to the series.
Blurb:
Tolui, a clone of a powerful Warlord, is a male without a homeland or a future. Doomed to never mate, he ruthlessly wages war, seeking to
give his clone brothers a planet system to call their own, a place where they can live without persecution.
When Tolui crashes on a deserted planet and meets a small human
female, he discovers everything he knows about clones is a lie. Lea, his destined mate, frees the passion he’s suppressed over his lifetime. He
wants her. He needs her. He’ll do anything to bond with her.
But he won’t share her. Tolui’s greatest battle will be the fight for Lea’s heart. To win her love, he’ll face hundreds of his clone
brothers, men who look exactly like him.

Are you a plotter or a pantser, or a hybrid?
I’m a pantser. I just start writing away and see what happens. I like writing this way because I’m always amazed at what my characters have done, are doing or about to do. I’m not a writer when I’m writing (I know it sounds crazy), but I feel like I’m a story teller. Sometimes when I have gotten way off track I will have to plot a few chapters out. It’s my way of telling my characters, “Okay, I know you’ve been through a lot and you want to do a lot, but at some point we have to get to this point in your life.” It’s sorta like me bringing the whip down on them.
Blurb:Loving Dangerously, Book Three
Jess hates aliens. After the invasion that destroyed Earth, the extraterrestrial bastards sold her to a brothel as a sex slave. She may have escaped but the old memories and fears still linger in the dark corners of her mind. Supposedly Sonis is just the place for her—somewhere safe, where she can heal and start fresh. She’s almost hopeful…until she meets Rasha, her new boss.
Rasha, captain of the Sonis Royal Guard, is a warrior through and through. He’s huge, sinfully sexy and could have any woman on Sonis—but the woman he wants is Jess. He’s very much an alien and Jess knows she should hate him or at least be wary, but whenever he’s around, she loses control. She tells herself it’s only sex—amazing, mind-blowing sex like nothing else she’s ever experienced—but there’s something about Rasha that shakes her soul. The feel of his skin against hers, the look in his eyes as he touches her—they make her want to believe it’s possible to find love and begin again.

Are you a plotter or a pantser, or a hybrid?
I have come to embrace that I am a pantser. I know the beginning of a story and the end, but I make up the middle when I walk, take a shower, and drive. I have sat down and “hard-plotted” books before, but it feels forced and unnatural. I prefer plotting that flows organically out of inspiration.

Demystifying the Male - Is Make up a turnon? #DtM #makeup #sexyornot
Is makeup important or even sexy to guys?1. Your preference for a woman's makeup - natural look vs dolled-up?
Brian: I love the natural look of a woman but i guess it depends on the occasion you know. Getting all dolled up to have a night on the town or to go on a date is always great. The natural look of a woman is to me the definition of beauty. You see her in the morning when you wake and just stare at her cause she is the most beautiful thing too look at. that is hot then you get to have the morning sex lol. Seriously woman who don't have to do much to make them selves presented able is the best.
Vile: I think the female should always look her best, I also think that is what most strive for. I like a woman who takes care of herself as well. Not too much, I have seen it caked on and after 5 or 6 hours you can see it starting to crack. One of the first things I look at when I meet a woman is her feet and no I do not have a foot fetish, but if she takes care of her feet she takes care of herself. Going out, the woman should always look better than the male. I like showing my lady off to others.
Ramrod: I prefer a more natural look. it doesn't mean she should not wearing any, just that I like it to look subtle. It's nice to get dolled-up every now and then but if she is confident, natural beauty is always sexier.
2. Is bright lipstick a turn on?
Brian: I honestly have no opinion on this question. My girlfriend now & past ones really never wore lipstick. I guess this goes with the first question I love the natural look.
Vile: Too much is not good I actually prefer lip gloss, I think lips gloss brings out the fullness of the lips. Lips are a turn on as well. Too much lipstick when your talking- that is all I notice and nothing else, but maybe that will take my attention away from all the cracked makeup.
Ramrod: It depends on the lips, Some women it makes there lips look small or real narrow when you highlight them with a bright color. Those women I think look better with a more subtle shade, but other wise it is a turn-on. It draws attention to her lips and get me thinking what she can do with them. I think it's sexy when the color matches something too, like her clothing or underwear.
3. Someone really wanted to know if lipstick smeared on your cock after a bj is a turn on.
Brian: Never had that happen but I don't believe it would be for me.
Vile: Yes it is a turn on but here again I prefer lips gloss. Lip gloss makes a cock look wetter while the female is giving head. Although at times a real dark color lipstick sliding over a hard cock is truly mind blowing.
Ramrod: It's not a turn-off but not a turn-on for me either. Seeing bright lipstick on her lips as they are wrapped around my cock and kissing it, would be the turn-on for me.
4. Is all the trouble women go through for lipstick, eye makeup, etc really going to draw a guy to her?
Brian: I think that answer is yes cause if it makes you stand out among the other girls guys will flock. I guess it is like going to the bar and you have the nice girls very good looking, great dancers and such. Then you have the wild one who is exposing all for anyone to see. We as men know she's not worth it but we want it. We flock to her.
Vile: This really depends some women look incredible without makeup, the natural girl next door. Women who have real lite skin should shy away from makeup, and concentrate more on the eyes, women who are dark skinned or tanned look much better with makeup on.
What men really want is someone who really cares about how they look and dress.
Ramrod: It will defiantly get our attention but is not the only thing that draws us in. The attitude she is projecting with way she is dressed and her makeup is what draws us in or pushes us away. It can be easy sometimes to overkill sexy and come off as slutty. When you find the right balance between hair, clothing and makeup, it is a huge turn-on and we appreciate the effort. It doesn't go unnoticed.

Author Spotlight- Anya Richards- 12 Days of #PreRelease #eroticromance
On the Fourth Day of Pre-release the author gave to me……Tattoos
(because she know I LOVE tats!!!)
And more than four, but more is always better, isn’t it?
The entire Unveils Seductions series started because of the Pricked series sub call from Ellora’s Cave. “Tattoos,” I thought… “Hmmm, I’ve always wanted a tattoo. What would I get?” *shakes head* That’s where it started, but it took a quick left turn after that, as my brain corkscrewed into thoughts like, “How would you tattoo a Fey? Or a god?”
And the Midnight Café was born… a tattoo parlor and hang-out spot in the world beyond the Veil. The next thing I knew, I was writing book four, Jaguar in the Sun , and still obsessed with the idea of the kind of tattoos the characters would have.
My hero Xbal isn’t tatted out yet. But he’s getting involved with a tattoo artist, so that might change… if she gets a chance to give him some ink. Might not happen though because she’s working her way through her bucket list and doesn’t have much time left. Cassandra has a number of tattoos, how many you’ll see in the following sneak peek, and most of them are in honor of her deity, Sol, the sun god. I imagined them as a variety of sun signs, a design I’m very fond of, strategically placed. For this post I cruised the web looking for designs I thought would be applicable and, because she’s modern woman, yet also very aware of the past, came up with a few.
The middle one would be very appropriate, since there is a Mesolithic feel to it, and the hero is a jaguar god from that era, and I liked the last one because it was whimsical and would go well with her red hair. As for him, well, I can’t see him doing anything without it having deep and lasting meaning, he’s a god after all, Please enjoy the exclusive excerpt below, and look for me around the web as I continue my Twelve Days of Pre-Release, leading up to the December 4th release ! Tomorrow I’ll be at the Dirty Birdies blog, talking about sex magic…
Blurb:Book four in the Unveiled Seductions series.Cassandra Solinar has a bucket list and jaguar god Xbal Montegro is on it. About to undergo an essential rite she won’t survive, she wants to wring every ounce of pleasure out of the time left. Including discovering if Xbal’s sex magic technique is as good as rumored.It’s no hardship for Xbal to accept Cassandra’s invitation for one erotic encounter, but far more difficult to let her go once he gets a taste of the explosive passion between them. Now he’s determined to hold on to her, no matter what.Cassie can’t tell Xbal the truth about what she’s about to do. It’s illegal, but without her death the entire world will perish. It’s a job she’s been preparing for from birth, but the loss will be greater now. For in Xbal she finds a soul-deep connection she doesn’t want to lose, and the one thing she made a point of not putting on her bucket list—love.A Romantica® paranormal erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave
Excerpt:“I’ve watched you so often, wondering what your skin would feel like against my lips. Stood next to you, inhaling your sweet scent, wishing I could get closer, hold you, know you wanted me the way I wanted you.” He brushed his mouth in a soft, searing motion from the sensitive hollow beneath her ear down to the base of her throat. When he continued the words vibrated into her bloodstream, like a drug she couldn’t resist. “You’re everything I dreamed and more. So much more. You overwhelm me. Bring out the beast in me.”Oh she wanted that beast, the one she heard snarling beneath the words, the one she was sure would take her body to heights she didn’t know it could reach. But she’d lost the ability to speak from the moment he’d begun this slow, inexorable seduction and her lungs had forgotten how to take in air or let it out in even, brain-sustaining breaths. All she was capable of were these short, desperate gulps rushing in and just as quickly back out. All she could do was stay still, letting him take whatever he would, surrendering to the overwhelming demand of his mouth.He circled her neck with kisses and hot, tender flicks of his tongue, his hair brushing her cheeks and shoulders as he moved from place to place, the harsh rush of his breathing filling her ears and adding to the sensations.Lingering over the sun sign low on the side of her throat, he murmured, “How many tattoos do you have?”It was a mark of how far gone she was already that she had to force her brain to come up with the number. “Twenty-six.”“I’m going to find and kiss each one.” He slicked his tongue around the tiny symbol, then continued. “And if I lose count, I’ll just have to start again.”

Demystifying the Male: #piercings, marking their territory and more
Have any of you been given head by someone with a tongue piercing? Did it do anything at all for you (increase sensations, etc)?Vile: I have had my cock sucked by a woman who had a piercing , I could feel a little around the head, felt good. I do find it very hot when a woman has tongue piercings though....
Ramrod: Fuck, I would love to experiment with this one but MrsRamrod doesn't have one. Unless one of you can sweet talk her into letting you join her as another lab partner, I will just continue to dream about it.
Brian: I tell ya these first few weeks back i feel inexperienced with these questions. I have not had experienced a woman with a tongue ring. I have always imagined that it would be amazing but I'm a kid in this regards to the tongue ring.
Is it really a turn on or a satisfaction to see your cum dripping from your woman's pussy? Anus? Why? Or why not?
Ramrod: Ass.....No, but pussy....fuck yeah. Anyone who has read previous DtM's knows I love pussy. Fuzzy, shaved, trimmed, so why not cum soaked dripping wet. A women's pussy is a beautiful thing and a cum soaked one is just a hot. It meant no condom and no pullout which is a huge turn on for me. Plus it is a satisfaction thing, I can sit back and look at that freshly fucked, gorgeous, cum dripping pussy and say with a smile, Fuck yeah, I did that.
Vile: This is a huge turn on. Just sitting there between her legs and watching it slowly drip back out, or on her knees just slowly pulling out of her ass and telling her to push a little watching it run back out, HUGE HUGE turn on.
Brian: I think it's a hell of a turn on to see my cum dripping from my girlfriend's pussy. I look at it and think damn i just tore that pussy up. I love the look of watching her throb as it drips. I take it as looking at a fine piece of art hahaha.
What's the deal with coming on a woman's breasts, face, ass? Is it a male 'marking your territory' thing? Which, if you could choose, would you prefer to come on (and I'm talking deliberate jerking off to come on the woman, not pull out because of some other reason).
Ramrod: I have never had the desire to come on a woman's face and would probably feel weird even if I was asked to do so. I could understand blowing my load on her tits if she were giving head and didn't want cum in her mouth but I haven't run into that issue either. I have cum on her pussy and by the request of her on several occasions. Even though she wasn't feeling good, she enjoyed watching me masturbate and I enjoyed the view of her pussy as my cock brushed against it. If I can't make a mess in it, I can at least make a mess on it. It is even more of a turn on when she asks me to do it and has became a nice treat for doing every now and then.
Brian: I have never purposely done this unless it was for pull out purposes. I think as a male when we pull out and cum on there face, butt or whatever it is a little marking our territory. Now i have been asked plenty of times to do that for her but never of my own volition.For me to do that would be living out my porn fantasy you know. I think every guy has or wants that sex like in a porno. I understand not all woman like it like that but hey to the ones that do, you get a gold star from me.
Vile: To me it is a sign of ownership, I do prefer the face, or grabbing a handful of hair tilting her head back a little and making her stick her tongue out and shoot , I love watching it slide down, and then to watch that final gulp.

Tattoo Tuesday- Rick Halstead- Revisited
Welcome
Rick Halstead
to Tattoo Tuesday
Give me four sentences that sum you up: what you do, who you are, where you've been.
I am a 32 year old guy who works as hard as he plays. I grew up with and believe in the old southern hospitality ways. Growing up as an athlete, playing soccer, and a military brat, I have experienced many travels in my life. I am very thankful for the opportunities that have come my way but very motivated to make new opportunities happen.
What was your first tattoo? Does it have meaning to you?
My first tattoo was a tribal symbol with the number 9. 9 is the number I wore playing soccer my last season, and was the highlight of my soccer experience.
Do you have any that you regret getting?
No. Every tattoo represents a time in my life or an event that I believe is worth having a reminder about for the rest of my life.
Do you have more tats planned?
Yes! Definitely
Do you buy into tattoos being addictive once you start getting them?
Yes. Being able to express yourself artistically and keep it with you at all times, is very fulfilling or addicting.
What's your life plans for the immediate future? Long-term?
For the immediate future, I hope to open my own business. Long term, to be there for my son at all times.
What's something about yourself that most people don't know?
That I am actually a shy person who has to try really hard to get over my shyness.
If you were a superhero, what would your power be? Your weakness
My power would be to fly. My weakness would be my arrogance. hahaha
Favorite TV show or station?
Velocity
If there were no $ or time limitations, where would you be right now and what would you be doing?
I would be in Europe attending a Manchester United game.
Quick Questions:
Bottle or can? Bottle
Chocolate or vanilla? Chocolate
Muscle car or motorcycle? Muscle car
Morning person or night-owl? Night-owl
Roller coaster or bumper cars? Bumper cars
