If your ink could speak, what would it say?That I control my life, I can protect myself and encase myself in this protective tattoo shield. I can be bold and artistic without someone telling me it's bad or shutting it down, because their opinion doesn't matter.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would put the money towards a new home for me, my boyfriend, and our 5 kids, I would buy us groceries so that we wouldn't have to go to the salvation army to make sure we have something to eat because we don't have foodstamps, I would do what I can for my family.
