Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo—a swan and an eagle—was inspired by my parents. The swan represents my mother’s grace and quiet strength; the eagle, my father’s courage and wisdom. Together, they symbolize balance, love, and the values that helped me rise above life’s hardest moments. It’s a tribute to the people who shaped me.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

“I am a living page in the story of your life—written in love, loss, and strength. I carry the ink of your roots, your rise, and your resilience. With every line, I remind you where you come from and how far you’ve come.”

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest in professional tattoo classes and advanced training to master my craft. This would help me refine my skills, learn from experienced artists, and eventually give back by creating meaningful art that empowers others—just like my own tattoos have done for me.
