ME & the Business
__________________________________________________________________
Who are you?
My name's IKB. I am an international tattoo artist and illustrator. I alos love cupcakes, brownies, and blogging.
How long have you been creating?
I've been making art for over 15 years now and tattooing for about 9 years.
What's the difference between you, Artistic Sole, & Indian Pussy Brand?
Not too much really LOL. I'm Imani (hi! nice to meet you ^.^)
Artistic Sole was to be a brand from customizing sneakers. However, the name's since been associated with an amazing group of artist friends, creating a pseudo art collective. SO I guess the name's kind of in transition.
Indian Pussy Brand (IP Brand) is my baby girl. Properly named, she was Tokyo 13's friendship gift to me- my kitty logo, Indian Pussy. The brand houses all of my creative ideas and efforts.
Does it matter which one I reference?
No, no! Not at all. Which ever name you reference it's all creative & it's all love.
