The last tattoos that I have had are a nod to my roots. I have a tattoo of Basquiat's crown and Keith Haring's dancing man under it. As a kid, I used to do graffiti and always saw Haring's work as well as Basquiat's Giant "Samo" pieces. I grew up with a different love of Art from the trains to the streets. On the same day, I had a black heart-shaped pendant with a white cross hanging from a chain to represent my devotion to Nationalists in Puerto Rico.

My Ink would definitely tell a story from religious beliefs, roots in my culture to my personal Journey into different parts of my life. I have enjoyed every tattoo and crave more to add to my story. I do not like common tattoos and cliche ink pieces. Just like I do not like being a common man with common skills. I definitely think of myself as a jack of all trades as well as a master of many. Each one of my tattoos represents a piece of my individuality with a story to tell.

Winning the money would be a definite opportunity to take care of my family in whatever ways I could. I never grew up with a lot of money so I like to think I'm pretty good at spending it wisely. I'm currently in school to better myself, improve my education and opportunities for employment. I definitely would pay down some portion of my loans as well as some of my elderly parents finances.
