What inspired me was the need for self acceptance and self love. After struggling with depression and anxiety I wanted to feel comfortable in my own skin. I always admired people in full suits but never thought I was worthy of one. I realized I was and to honor myself, and remind myself the importance of life I decided to start working on getting my body tattooed. Life's too short not to accept yourself for who you are.

It would say, remember the beauty in life and remember nothing is forever. We are blessed with one life and we should live to it to our fullest potential. Remember to be brave, wise and honor your family and friends. Life is too short, so don't give up on your aspirations and continue the fight because life isn't easy but it's worth every bead of sweat and drop of blood we pour into it. Remember to be grateful for everyday we wake up and feel the sunshine on our skin.

I would use it to pay off a loan I have and put the rest into an emergency fund. My work and the economy are a little turbulent so having a safety net would bring me some comfort on dark days ahead.
