It is very honest and shows the ups and downs of their lives.
He was close to his mother growing up and his father was not around so much in his childhood. She told him to “dream big because dreams shape your reality”. He has tried to follow this motto in his career. In his work as a tattoo artist, his favourite tattoo is one he did of an astronaut with a fairy tale style of stardust around him. The tattoo reminds him of himself when he was young as he lived with his art in his mind. In the future he would like to continue being creative and would like to be involved in films and shows.
