She also said the she suppressed her interest in music while on the show.
“I did suppress it. I created music the whole time I was on the show, too. I never released none of the stuff,” she said. “This is what I love about being an artist. For me, being an artist is not just being a tattoo artist. I’m a real life artist. I love creating things off of my creativity, whether it’s art, whether it’s tattoos, a painting, a drawing, writing. I love to crochet. I love to needlepoint.”
“Music is no different from any other genre of art I create,” she added.
