What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I have let fear dictate my life for years. The hands (hopefully made more feminine) represent mine and the eye represents my higher self coming out and seeing things in a different light with hope

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

This is my life, no one controls anything but me. With the hands being more feminine also represents I’m a strong Puerto Rican woman who will fight for what’s right and always fight for justice. . We are powerful. At a very young age I was diagnosed with autism, I knew I was different because of how I see the world. I use a lot of metaphors for communication. I’m very intelligent like other neurodivergent people.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would probably get a car. I can take my puppy Milo on car rides. Milo is a year old Rhodesian Ridgeback Labrador mix. We came into each other’s life at a perfect time. Sometimes days are harder than others and I needed a friend. I rescued him a few months ago and honestly he’s my best friend. He may try to talk back when you say no, but when I’m crying his smile with his little paw on my shoulder makes me feel better. I love Milo so much
