I'm a Artist and Retro-Geek so my style has definitely been influenced. Philadelphia is where I reside, Temple University is where I attend, fun is what I have and creativity is in my hands. Enjoy today and yesterday w/me the urbanbasketcase.

fuckyeahtattoos: My thigh piece, none other than Velma herself. A year in the making, this was my final sitting. People have told me I resemble her for years, so getting this tattoo is my way of owning and embracing that. It’s also a tribute to intelligent and sexy women (because these things aren’t mutually exclusive.) :)
