Celebrate my 25th anniversary of tattooing in 2025

About the Raffle
2025 is the Year of the Snake, a powerful symbol of transformation, resilience, and growth—qualities that resonate with my 25-year journey as a tattoo artist. To honor this milestone, I’m hosting a special Year of the Snake Tattoo Raffle.
In Japanese style tattooing, the snake, or hebi, carries rich symbolism, making it a timeless and powerful design choice:
• Protection: Snakes are revered as guardians of sacred spaces and treasures, believed to ward off misfortune and bad luck.
• Transformation: The snake’s ability to shed its skin symbolizes rebirth, renewal, and the cycle of life.
• Wisdom & Strength: Snakes embody wisdom and strength, with a black hebi often representing mystery and resilience.
• Good Fortune: In Japanese culture, snakes are associated with good luck, and carrying snake skin is believed to bring prosperity.
• Personal growth: The snake's sinuous form can represent resilience and the ability to shed old skin.
How the Raffle Works:
• Tickets Cost: $20 each.
• Lifetime Entry: Once purchased your ticket remains in the drawing bucket for all remaining raffles throughout 2025. The earlier you buy, the more chances you have to win! 25 chances to win!
• Drawing Schedule: Drawings will be held every other Monday, beginning January 13, 2024. (The first drawing will feature two winners!)
Each winner will receive a custom Japanese-style snake tattoo, drawn in my signature style and optionally paired with classic themes like hannya or oni masks, peonies or cherry blossom. This is your chance to celebrate growth and transformation through Japanese-style tattooing.
