ecognizing and capitalizing on trends before consumers move on to the next big thing is a priceless skill Desmond Dunn has. Desmond is a Raleigh, NC native and a senior Psychology major at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) who believes in staying and being positive. His clothing line, The WHYL, is based off a movement that was started by him and his high school buddies. The clothing line was actually created by accident when the high school friends made a couple of tee shirts to wear and posted a picture on Instagram. They made a few more for people and decided to start a business. He says that The WHYL is about “…fulfilling life and living life like a party that never ends!” It was easy for him to hone the necessary skills (i.e. graphic designing, sewing) to become a successful, up and coming designer because he says that he has always been into fashion.

C Wade considers himself to be Ink’d 4 Life because he went from getting one tattoo every so often to getting them on a consistent basis (he would go get tatted every week for months at a time!). He sends his personal thanks to all the supporters, fans, and followers of the Ink’d 4 Life movement! Follow him on Instagram: @drippinpaint.
For the most part, Wade’s tattoos have not stopped him from personal and professional progression. He is a father to a beautiful little girl, the foreman for a well-respected company, and he’s also a tattoo model. When asked how many tattoos and ink hours he has he said that he did not know: “Honestly I have no clue how many actual individual tattoos, or hours I have wrapped up into this creation. All I know is that I’m literally covered from head to toe!”
harlotte, NC native Wade Gibson is a prime example of being Ink’d 4 Life!!! When he was16years-old he got his first tattoo, but the real tattooing began when he moved to Southern California. He believes tattoos are admirable, whether they are all over a gorgeous girl, or a prisoner locked up behind bars.
