Kwasi’s Black Apple Tattoo
Posted by kwasi | Filed under Culture
The Black Apple means so much to me I had to get it permanately inked on my body. Right below my Africa tattoo is the Black Apple. The mother land and the concrete jungle represent who I am and my state of mind, The Black Apple state of Mind.
