I remember first running across Jessica on the interwebs. It was through Tumblr and the tattoo's on the face is what got me. If I can recall, it was this image that caught my eyes.
The image was surrounded by negative feedback and ignorant comments. Despite the cynical comments, there was a surplus of positive reinforcement. Where ever I go, I receive nasty looks, no looks, stares of curiosity. My neck, hands, and fingers are covered in ink. Soon enough my face will have some ink on it as well. But I don't do it for the attention. I do it to tell a story. I do it so that people who are curious can know more about me by just taking a second look. So that if you're too shy to talk, or simply too intimated to say Hi, my tattoo's are like little welcome signs if you're a fan. Now before you go ahead and judge me by thinking "Oh gosh, look at this guy with the massive ego", you should know that I'm the complete opposite of that. I certainly don't walk around thinking my shit doesn't stink. But without diving into too much details, I'll leave the rest for another blog.
Back to topic.
To me, Jessica is great example of simply just "being yourself". I don't know her personally but I'm sure if I ever got the chance to, she would be ever so chill. Just someone you can kick it with and talk all day while smoking and drinking. When I found out that she had some connection to my favorite compony (The Hundreds) I'll admit to getting a bit excited. I thought that she would be moving to Los Angeles and we would see how her lifestyle was. So thanks to Bobby, here are some images to show you more of her.
