Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is Marilyn Monroe—an eternal icon of beauty, resilience, and unapologetic femininity. I chose her because she represents the mix of softness and strength I carry. Just like Marilyn, I’ve been underestimated, but I always rise. This ink isn’t just art—it’s a reminder that legends aren’t born, they’re created. And baby, I’m just getting started.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak, it’d say: “Don’t let the pretty face fool you—this girl’s been through hell and came back shining.” My flowers? Grew from scars. Marilyn? My daily reminder to stay bold and never apologize for my shine. Hello Kitty? That’s the soft side I never lost. Every piece says I’m layered, real, and unstoppable. This isn’t just ink—it’s my armor, my power, and my proof that I made it.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I’d give my daughters the stability I never had. A safe home, a start for their future, and proof that their mom never gave up. Every tattoo tells a story—but this would be a new chapter: one where struggle turns into security, and dreams become real. I’d show them that no matter how hard life gets, love, strength, and a little ink can carry you through anything.
