Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is a saying from a friend of mine who passed away. It says “seek discomfort” with his birth date in Roman numerals and a halo style shading around it. This is a memorial tattoo for my close friend and the motto that he lived by.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak, it would say a lot about who I am. My half sleeve would tell people about how I grew up in nature, surrounded by trees, waterfalls and life. It would tell the story of when my siblings and I were young and used to adventure into the woods and hunt for fossils or other treasure. My other tattoos would tell you about my friends, my family, and the inspiration that I live by, for example, I try to “embrace” life in all its ups and downs.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won the $25,000, I would use some of it to pay off the rest of my college loans, some would go to investments and savings, and the rest would be spent traveling, trying new adventurous things and experiencing life to the fullest with my soon to be fiancée.
