My left arm sleeve was done by a close friend and it represents protection, transformation, and inner strength. The spiritual patterns reflect the chaos I’ve survived and the balance I’m reclaiming. The deity at the center was one of my first tattoos at 18, drawn by a friend in high school. I built around it with @stabdaddi, who finished bringing my dream to life last April.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?I've been through hell, but I made it art. Every line on this body tells a story of pain transmuted into power, of softness that survived. I am not here to be quiet, hidden, or ashamed. I'm here to be seen, remembered, and reborn-again and again.
What would you do with the $25,000?I'd invest in my creative career-build a mobile content studio, launch a podcast, travel the world, finish tattooing my entire body...and maybe write the book that’s been sitting on my heart for years. I'd visit family, create space to heal, and help other women feel seen. It wouldn't just change my life—it'd amplify my voice for those still finding theirs. But hey... if there's room in the budget, Antarctica's calling 🫠❄️
