How many tattoos do you have?

2

How old were you when you got your first tattoo?

18

​

What is it?

The symbol for the “Undertow” vigor from Bioshock Infinite.

​

Where is it?

On my left wrist.

​

Is there a story behind it or a particular reason you got it?

It’s my favorite magic power from one of my favorite video games.

Who was the artist?

I got it done by Travis at Trinity Tattoo in Virginia Beach. He’s no longer with that shop, but I’d still highly recommend the place.

​

What is your second tattoo of?

A wolf’s head, placed above two criss-crossed lavender branches being held together by a pink bow.

Where is it?

In the center of  my upper back, right below my neck.

Is there a story behind it or a particular reason you got it?

I really felt the design of the piece; it reminds me of different components of nature that harmonize well together.

Who was the artist?

Jess Versus, at Heroes & Ghosts Tattoo in Carytown.

Which is your favorite?

I love them both, but the wolf means a tiny bit more to me.

Which hurt the most?

Definitely the back tattoo! It wasn’t super fun having someone drag needles across my spine for three hours.
