... the other Black experience
Artist/student/musician Julia Price hails from Greensboro, North Carolina. She told us about her tattoo (she only has one, but what a piece!). Part tribute to her grandmother, part statement about her own personality, check it out below. If you'd like your tattoo(s) to be our next feature, please email us at least 3 pics of yourself and your tattoo(s), and your answers to the questions below to afropunkcommunity@gmail.com .
Name: Julia Price
Age: 18
Occupation: Artist, student, musician
How many tattoos do you have? 1
Which one is your favorite? My whole piece!
What does it mean to you? The leopard print that is across my shoulders symbolizes the individuality of my grandmother and myself; the pattern of leopards has always been something of my character. The passion/eucalyptus plants was inspired by the pulse of a lover, art, nature, and the energy of change.
How old were you when you got your first tattoo? like... 8 weeks into being 18 years old
Why should we feature your tattoo? I love hearing of others and sharing tattoo stories
Do you have a particular tattoo artist you go to? Gene Cash from seven sagas in Greensboro does some sick art!
Have you ever received a tattoo under the influence of drugs or alcohol? No
Do you regret any tattoos you have? Not at all!
Are you a tattoo addict? addict? Hm... I think once I get one piece I get a constant inspiration to either add on to it or express yourself in the moment with some type of bodyart; so that in itself is addicting.
