What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My children inspired my most recent tattoos because they wrote them in the margins on their school work their teachers sent them to me and I got them done in the way my kids wrote them I wanted them to be authentic to the way a kid writes so the same imperfections you see on paper you'll see on my skin. My daughter wrote faith love and hope and my son wrote John 3:16 i wanted to take it with me wherever I went to remind me that I'm doing a good job even when I think I'm not.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak it would tell you alot about pain and suffering that my kids and myself feel. It will also tell you about hope and inspiration and it will tell you about the beauty of people as well the world around you. It will also tell you about overcoming and rising up in the face of advercity.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would help my children and my family and maybe myself but I would also help the foundations out their that support women and children who experience child abuse. I want to help others where I received help when I needed it the most and thank them cause without these agencies I wouldn't be here today. So helping them is a dream and a choice i want to commit to.
