I've got to be honest, being born with these features has been both a blessing and a curse in this world. Growing up Palestinian American, I never really felt like I fit in anywhere. My parents wanted me to be a doctor or a lawyer, but my true passion is art. Tattooing has given me the freedom to express myself without apology.
People often make assumptions about me based on how I look and who they think I am. They don't realize that beneath all these tattoos lies a sensitive soul who just wants to connect with others on a deeper level. That's why I'm so drawn to the community here - everyone is unapologetically themselves, and it feels like home.
For me, art isn't just about aesthetics; it's about telling stories, exploring identities, and pushing boundaries. In my work, you'll see a fusion of styles that reflect my diverse background - from traditional Middle Eastern designs to contemporary abstract pieces. When I'm in the zone, nothing else matters except for the ink flowing onto the skin. It's like we're sharing secrets together - just me, the needle, and the canvas of another person's body.
