InkSpired Magazine: Tell us about your favorite tattoo.
Katie Amen: I'm not sure I have one. A lot of my tattoos are artists
getting to give me a little piece of themselves, their interpretation of an
idea I had. And all of them are awesome and special to me.
InkSpired Magazine: Who are your tattoo artists?
Katie Amen: I’ve gotten tattooed by a handful artists, especially when I
was younger. Nowadays, though, I do save my skin for certain artists.
Ivan from De La Ink and Rocky from Johnny's Tattoo are the artists
behind my more notable and observed pieces and would be my go-to
guys if someone were to ask for a reference.
InkSpired Magazine: What role do tattoos play in your life?
Katie Amen: Since I am what is considered heavily tattooed, they play
a pretty dominant role in my day to day life. I get singled out and judged
more. But they also give me more of a memorable voice when I need
to speak out. I've learned that people are always going to judge you by
something. You just have to be able to accept yourself.
