I feel that through my face and body art, I provide a service. I do magic when I paint, and it's because I can read people, and I've used my skills of hypervigilance to read people and then reflect what they want, and I try to give them things that that are positive, that make them feel good and acknowledge them, and so that process, you know, has been healing.

Yet, Amy didn't let this dark chapter define her. Today, she's not only a loving mother to a teenage son but also a successful body artist and college student.
