Do you feel empowered by your tattoos?

Yes, I do. It's the only pain that i have "control" over and am consenting to. Also, it's a physical look I actually have control over as well. Not the wheelchair, not the curves in my back, but my tattoos.

Final quote as it pertains to "Indelible"

"Don't look at us for inspiration, look at us as individuals who just want a seat at the table."
