"I decided to get this tattoo a few days before getting it. I had no idea what I wanted and my friend asked 'what's something you loved since you were young?' and I immediately thought: Jimi Hendrix. My father introduced Hendrix to me when I was in grade 6 or 7. Little Wing is a song written by Jimi Hendrix about his mother. Essentially this tattoo reminds me of the love I have for my parents and Hendrix."

“I got this one because of an American rapper group, The Wu Tang Clan. I like those guys.” 24 RAF
“In the year of 2000 I was going to the bush...then something worse happened...I got in trouble...The tattoo says 24 RAF, which means Real Accident Fund. It’s not like 26, 27, 28. I love to live, I love people. Love people. I’m a person."
