Life; this existence that we are so sure about. Do you feel like you know why you are here? How have you played your cards? Did you get to where you are today by utilizing the rungs of the ladder that others who came before you labored to create? Did you pour yourself into creating your own ladder, knowing that […]

It has one of those classic tattoo vibes and the differing patterns and textures are really pleasing to look at. I was given the canvas paper by this guy I had met that I thought was […]
