InkSpot - What “InkSpires” You? “Every single thing we’ve been through marks our soul and impacts who we become in the future. We can rationalize, justify, empathize...or we can embrace, accept and strive to be stronger than the world says we’ll be. My rib cage tattoo reminds me of the life I’ve left behind, the struggles I’ve overcome, and the damn strong woman I am today. Ink is beautiful. To me, tattoos are the true windows to our souls.” -Michele Sarkauskas “Being “InkSpired” to me means you want to wear your whole life on your sleeve (or whichever part you choose). That means all the good parts as well as the bad. To keep a constant reminder of the amazing time you have spent on this planet.” -Jessica Walton-brown “It’s my soul painted on the outside.” -Keke Majcen “I don’t have any tattoos, but I love this magazine and tattoo art. I appreciate the artistic value and self-expression that they represent for the individual that has them.” Amanda Martin “I am ‘InkSpired’ by my memories, thoughts, and emotions. For me, tattoos are a commemoration of my amazing life.” -Patricia Daniels 4 InkSpIredMagazIne.coM
