Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My full leg piece (still in progress)—was envisioned as a sacred homage to Tantric art. Designed as a single, unified canvas, it features an ascending kundalini serpent, yantras, and mandalas that were to be finished in monochrome dot-work. Unlike my arms, which evolved in parts, this was my first full appendage tattoo planned as one sacred story. Sadly it may remain unfinished, as the shop is gone and I've lost contact with the artist.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak, it would whisper, “She survived, she awakened, and she made her skin a map of remembrance.” It would laugh at the critics, flirt with the edge, and roar with every serpent, sigil, and story etched into flesh. It would say, “This is not decoration—this is declaration. A woman reborn, marked with sacred intentions."

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I’d burn the rulebook and start fresh—Hawaii, Costa Rica, Portugal, wherever the wild calls loudest. Bye-Bye landlocked, uptight, Omaha, NE!!! I’d build a sacred AF space where art, embodiment, and radical healing collide. A rebel temple off-grid and ocean-kissed. This isn’t just relocation—it’s reclamation. Of my life. My voice. My mission. Inked skin, wild heart, and sacred intention lighting the way.
