Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

After 17 years in the corporate world, I began a journey of healing, self-discovery, and reclaiming my power. This Buddha symbolizes peace and presence, surrounded by nature — a reminder to stay rooted, evolve, and protect my peace. She’s graceful, but fierce. Just like me.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I’ve seen her break, rebuild, and rise. I hold the stories she couldn’t speak, the strength she forgot she had, and the peace she fought like hell to find. I’m not just ink — I’m her armor, her reminder, her rebirth.

What would you do with the $25,000?

$25,000 would help me invest in my fresh start — launching my own business, securing stability for my boys, and fueling my creative passions. After years of surviving, I’m ready to build. This isn’t just prize money — it’s a foundation for the next chapter of a woman who finally chose herself.
