Ashes of the Unraveled Heart was one of the first times I fused tattoo ink with charcoal—a mix that felt risky and unpredictable. Ink moves fast, stains deep, and leaves no room for hesitation. But in that risk came reward: raw energy and unplanned depth. I filmed the entire process so you can watch each mark take shape, seeing how danger and discovery collided to bring this piece to life.

Thank you for your support and encouragement through out this journey of creation.
