My first tattoo is the symbol that Rafiki gave to Simba. It is a sign that Simba would be king at some point. It was the beginning stages of his upcoming royalty, so I added the crown to it. The crown is from a game called Kingdom Hearts. Disney and Square Enix became one entity. Kingdom Hearts then had Lion King elements added to the game. I wanted to put them all together. It also represents the logo from my business, Core Taekwondo. We use a lion. I tried to put it all together.

This is one of my favorite pokemon, Luxray. He also represents a lion. I have this lion theme going on. I am not a Leo (joking). I have always liked lions. I wanted it to represent having a strong personality in my beliefs about what I do. It was also cool to have an original piece as a pokemon, which is my favorite. It’s also an electric type which is my favorite element.

This is from an anime called Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. All the Jo stars have a star birthmark. I thought it was fantastic. All the characters were very relatable, and I wanted to be part of the family.

This is a tattoo from A Curse Born Saga. A very good friend created this tattoo from the manga and graphic novel. I became interested in it when I would cosplay one of the main characters. I have also become a Patreon for his business. He considers me a part of the curse-born family.
