Inked Temples :: (+playlist)

The stereotypes that bombarded my memory of a character who possessed tattoos as a child initially fell in the category of "Biker", "Bad Ass", "Pirate" or all of the above...
and in some what of that order too -


As I grew as a person, artist, and in spirit I could all too well relate to the creative expression of body art.
"Your body is your temple!" was easily my mother's protest against me acquiring any ink of my own; yet it was the sole purpose of every stroked line I've attained to this day -

"My body IS MY TEMPLE and I shall tell my story!"




Throughout time we have used all things at our disposal to tell our story; a record in pages of books, ancient outburst of colors on walls, mocking melodies of music yet the most personal of the
story-tellers is that of INK with a purpose to give no truer accounts of the life lived by that said person

 

We are the living representation, testimony and history
"Inked Temples"
  



My body is my journal and my tattoos are my story"
"Find yourself and be that!"
