Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo i got from a close friend who began his apprenticeship. It was an original piece of are he drew in high school and it was sick to see it come to life in one of his first tattoos, it also surprisingly doesn’t suck which is a plus lol

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak, it would whisper the stories my scars forgot, scream the truths I was too afraid to say, and hum the rhythm of every heartbeat that carried me here. It’s not just art—it’s my soul, sketched in silence, waiting to be heard.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won the $25,000, I’d turn my body into a living gallery—a map of my journey, my losses, my wins, and the people who shaped me. I’d collaborate with artists to bring my story to life piece by piece. Not just for the ink, but for the impact—something people stop and feel, not just see. My skin would become the canvas, but my story would be the masterpiece. I would also pay off some credit card debt, and provide my 3 year old son a better life!
