Do you feel empowered by your tattoos?

Not really empowered. I felt it was a fun adventure since it took over a year to do. It was a fun personal statement I decided to make and I made a bunch of friends in a whole new social circle by getting my sleeve tattoo.

Final quote as it pertains to "Indelible"

I realized I involuntarily looked different than anyone else. Tattoos enabled me a way to voluntarily look unique and have fun with it.
