Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

How beautiful the things in life are and butterflies and flower for example. They go through multiple stages of life and once they’ve hit their peak, they’re beautiful. Just like human life, we go through trials and tribulations all for a greater outcome at the end.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

There is a story behind each piece I have. The one on the top of my arm basically means, even though we want/expect good things, bad things are bound to happen and getting through those bad things make us stronger in the end. The arrow on under my forearm, my grandmother picked out. She holds a special place in my heart. The tattoo Blessed stands for how blessed I am everyday to get to wake up and enjoy this beautiful struggle called life.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would buy a new car. I’ve put more money into the one i have now than i bought it for and it’s worth. I make enough to make at my job just to make ends meet. $25,000 would be a tremendous help.
