Kelsy Nakamatsu

I am of Japanese & Filipino descent. I ventured down the path of modeling in 2007, but have since taken a detour into body piercings. I pierce professionally at my significant other's shop in Hawaii, on Kaua'i, Farsyde Tattoo. My mentor is 17-year professional body modifier, Julian Ganesha, and I'd be damned to say I'm not proud of the accomplishments he's helped me reach. Though I am on a different journey for now, I am still up for returning to the path I had begun walking down several years ago.

I am fascinated by the pure depth and emotion that a photo can portray, and it's fun to create some neat images! Just taking pretty pictures is ok sometimes.. I need more substance than that. I love to visualize and create : )
