We at “INK’D 4 LIFE” Magazine are a tattoo move-ment dedicated to the untamable tattoo society that is too expressive for the mainstream indus-

try! The purpose of this movement is to highlight the rapidly emerging “in crowd” of the tattoo world by providing a sea-sonal print out and space that will give exceptional recogni-tion to top Tattoo Artists, Pin-Up Girls, Tattoo Models, Misc Professionals, Athletes, Fashion Designers, and Recording Artists. We are a Charlotte, NC tattoo magazine and our goal is to eventually establish a global network of tattoo aware-ness. Our mission is to illustrate the expressive nature of the tattooed world and to reshape this industry by producing real stories about real people! Join the movement!

THE INK IS THE TRUTH AND OUR GRIND IS REMARKABLE

Recognizing and capitalizing on trends before consumers move on to

the next big thing is a priceless skill Desmond Dunn has.

Desmond is a Raleigh, NC native and a senior Psychology major at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) who believes in staying and being positive.

His clothing line, The WHYL, is based off a movement that was started by him and his high school buddies. The clothing line was actually created by accident when the high school friends made a couple of tee shirts to wear and posted a picture on Instagram.

They made a few more for people and decided to start a business. He says that The WHYL is about “…fulfilling life and living life like a party that never ends!” It was easy for him to hone the necessary skills (i.e. graphic designing, sewing) to become a successful, up and coming designer because he says that he has always beeninto fashion.
