What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My newest addition, the Phoenix is to remind me that all the trials I've been through like, husband of 13yrs being killed, losing my kids, becoming homeless for awhile, losing my money and cars and having to beat an addiction all in the same 6mon, not to mention many more trials throughout my life...it's a reminder that even though the world or people may try to break me down that I am a fighter and survivor and will do everything in my power to rise and fight against it to overcome

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Each ink I have represents diff things, but each and every one has a reason. I'd say my ink says that regardless of hardships and trials that I will continue to fight for something better and try to remain positive and that love has been my biggest drive. Fighting for my babies and my husband's honor since he was so wrongfully killed but that everything happens for a reason whether we know that reason or not, but love gives you hope and strength and reason to always fight for something better

What would you do with the $25,000?

Since I'm still working on restarting my life the money would be a huge help on paying off old debt, and helping me get a spot to bring my babies home to since I'm hoping to have them home within 6mon and prob take them on a trip and do something fun since it's been a hard few years lately, then would invest a little of it to turn into more and put the rest in the bank to help us when we need it. I'm currently 8mon clean from addiction. It takes a lot to restart life but would be a huge help
