Ink is a way to express a story so really every tat is special. This will be my first and I want to use my parents ashes in the ink.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I lost both my parents three months apart last year. I’m a widow and a single mom. I have always wanted a tattoo but never could think of something that I would want forever, since forever doesn’t exist in my world.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

As I have gotten older I realize the value of time. How much gets wasted, yet once it’s gone it’s gone. When we are young we wish to speed it up & when we get older we wished we could slow it down. But time waits for no one. I was recently diagnosed with cancer and refuse to let it win. So I try to make every second count. Life in a time capsule!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I entered this contest not for the money but for the experience. Couldn’t think of a better way to start my ink journey! As far as the money it would help secure a place for my mentally ill brother and help me take my parents to their final resting places. Thank you for your time and reading my story.
