"1540 was actually gonna just be a tattoo, I planned to get to honor my grandad that passed. But something in me told me a tattoo wasn't enough. I needed something to feel like he was still here or his spirit was at least because, my grandad raised me for a good amount of my life. Without him I feel like my life goes a completly different route. 1540 is more than a house number. It's an orgin story and key part of my life. Theres no me being able to artistically express myself without 1540. Or me being able to think for myself without 1540. I feel like I owe it to my grandad to continue to make him proud and my family proud. It's bigger than me....and those 4 numbers keep me motivated forever because of it."
