MEANING OF THE TATTOO - CREATE

Tattoos often represent feelings and thoughts that are unspoken or trapped in ones self-consciousness battling ill at easement. In my case the signature body art hand tattoo - CREATE was totally the opposite. The crossroads of my Hip Hop journey instilled a sense of psychological resilience which allowed my imagination, and dreams to manifest freely. Simply put… tattoos are permanent, but the tattoo CREATE symbolizes evolving endlessly. The placement on the hand is in relation to giving back or sharing GODS gifts with the world. ~ Kenglomerate

Let me paint the picture of how it all began.

The year was 1988 and the entire borough of Queens was about to erupt.

 It was Brooklyn-Queens day in Flushing Meadows park and everyone who was somebody, was out there that day. Two dancers emerged from the crowd with one single thought in mind. And that’s, “today is going to be epic.”

Standing beside the stage was good friend of the dancers, DJ Polo, who waved for the two to come backstage. There, he introduced them to the legendary rapper, Kool G rap, who said one line that would change the course of the dancers lives forever. 

"I'm on next... You want to perform?"

Nervous and shocked, but ready, the two stepped on the stage and the entire world ceased to exist. The dancers only felt their raging heartbeats merged with the rhythm of the beat and when they started dancing,they embodied the art form known as Hip Hop.

Nervousness turned to adrenaline and near the end of their highly energetic routine were dance solos. The first one rocked it! The second one without a second thought, kept the crowd astonished. Overwhelmingly he repeatedly jumped and raised his arms in excitement and when he looked up, the entire crowd was jumping as directed in unison. It was the greatest moment of the dancer's lives.

Stepping on the stage they both had one single thought in mind. But stepping off, something changed.

A female voice yelled out “ can I take a picture “ the two setup for their favorite pose. On the count of three more than just the camera clicked.

Sure, both dancers knew they were innovative. But one in particular realized that his passion was not only in dancing or in his amazing ability to move the crowd. He discovered, his passion was in finding a way to capture life's greatest moments and make them last forever. He is I and I am FIYA. 

My name is Kenneth Nealy and over the last 20 years I have been searching for the missing key that helped capture these moments. With a background in entertainment and graphic design, I thought, how can I blend the two worlds to best serve the needs of my consumers? 

The art of Kenny Kenglomerate and FIYA apparel was born.
