I get all my ink from my cousin at In the Clouds Tattoo. I try my best to only use designs from Chicago local artists.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My cats inspired my most recent tattoo. They are one of the best parts of my life and provide joy and light every day.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would tell the world that there are things that matter to me, and I am not scared to use my skin as a canvas for my thoughts and the things that i just think are cool. It is a part of my self-expression that nothing else can compete with.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use that money to go back to school and get my master's so I could afford more tattoos down the line. Tattoos helped me find my calling. I did not know I wanted to start a career in accounting until I started managing all the bookkeeping at my cousin's shop. I would also give a portion to my cousin to help keep her shop afloat.
