BEHIND THE BODY ART
“ My little brother Jay, who now works at my tattoo parlor, did [ my chest piece ]. The hawk is my spirit animal and it’ s holding a snake wrapped around the anchor. The anchor will always be planted no matter what. The snake’ s trying to take me down, but the anchor is keeping me grounded.”
