How many tattoos do you have?
2
How old were you when you got your first tattoo?
18
What is it?
The symbol for the “Undertow” vigor from Bioshock Infinite.
Where is it?
On my left wrist.
Is there a story behind it or a particular reason you got it?
It’s my favorite magic power from one of my favorite video games.
Who was the artist?
I got it done by Travis at Trinity Tattoo in Virginia Beach. He’s no longer with that shop, but I’d still highly recommend the place.
What is your second tattoo of?
A wolf’s head, placed above two criss-crossed lavender branches being held together by a pink bow.
Where is it?
In the center of my upper back, right below my neck.
Is there a story behind it or a particular reason you got it?
I really felt the design of the piece; it reminds me of different components of nature that harmonize well together.
Who was the artist?
Jess Versus, at Heroes & Ghosts Tattoo in Carytown.
Which is your favorite?
I love them both, but the wolf means a tiny bit more to me.
Which hurt the most?
Definitely the back tattoo! It wasn’t super fun having someone drag needles across my spine for three hours.
