Kaz Collins - An Artist Forged by Pain and Resilience

Japanese artist Kuniyoshi inspired blue tiger with a Third Eye. While I was very connected to my predator, survivor self while working in the tattoo world in neighborhood shops dodging bullets and inking enforcers, I still practiced Nichiren Buddhism and sought to find an enlightened aspect to everything I did. I strove to create value by inspiring those younger than me to be true to themselves, stay off hard drugs and away from guns. This tiger is an expression of my inner self during those 24 years.
