Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was a left shin piece designed by my tattoo artist to complete my leg sleeve last year. My left leg is a rainforest theme, and I wanted my final piece to represent the highly intelligent and emotionally expressive chimpanzees from the rainforest. They are considered our closest living relatives and by incorporating daisy flowers into my design, I was able to add my parent's birth month of April into my piece and symbolize a connection to my inner child and playful spirit.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink is a representation of my self-love and my self-expression. Most of my tattoos are of various animals in the rainforest, and they each serve a different symbolic meaning to me. My tattoos would say that I have wild ink on my skin, but I am convinced that it would be because I carry a wildness inside. Every piece on my body matches my personality of being fierce, untamed, and beautiful. My leg sleeve is a rain forest theme and speaks volumes of me being in tune with my personal evolution.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to pay off some small debts that I have, definitely take a much-needed vacation in the future, and donate to a charitable cause to help others that are in need.
