A bit about Nike Ozaki(they/them/she/her pronouns):
Nike is an amazing Non-binary, Queer, POC artist (painting and illustration)! They live in Portland, Oregon with their wonderful wife and kitties. Nike is inspired by 80’s/90’s Anime, Afrofuturism, and Metaphysics. They have built quite a following in the Pacific Northwest and table at many events selling their art. Nike can be found at the following:

Their Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1YYPZU6B2B0KG?ref_=wl_share
The Need:
One of Nike's dreams is to become a tattoo artist. In Oregon, it is state law that new tattoo artists must attend a tattoo school. This causes a large financial hurdle, as Tattoo School typically costs around $10,000 for tuition. This does not include the coverage of living expenses while in attendance. If you are familiar with Portland, you will understand that the cost of living here is expensive (this is due to many reasons, but gentrification and the over-development of condos are some big causes). FAFSA does not offer any assistance, causing the financial burden to be placed on the student, and in this case, the financial burden would be placed on Nike. Nike does not desrve that type of stress while studying and working to achieve their dream! Please consider donating to Nike and sharing this GoFundMe!
