What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I have survived things that i feel some people May not have had the courage to fight through....I almost didn't. I've fought battles against some pretty rage-filled demons, and won. When I say I burned my entire past like the Phoenix burns its nest of memories and trials, and starts anew, that's a whole thing. Im in a fight for my life now, and have a story to tell. I am an empath and I want to help people.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Im not too sure the stories are appropriate for here, haha just kidding. I believe strongly, they'd speak of courage, of learning how to live life in the moment and everything has a purpose and a reason for being the way it is. We just have to choose to see things from a new angle.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would absolutely be donating a good portion of it to cancer research since I am fighting cancer myself, and ALS research. With a small portion of it i Want simply nothing more than to see Ireland with my human by my side and play taiko drums on a cliff with him before my time is up and marry him.
