I grew up doing martial arts, but got away from it for several years. The dragon and tiger have always been symbols in the martial arts, but for me, it's a symbol of rebirth and renewal. I have become old, and overweight, but I got the tattoos to inspire me to train again. That love never dies, even if it is harder now.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?It would speak of honor, integrity, indomitable spirit, respect and loyalty. The world can take a lot from you, but it can never take your integrity...you can only give that away yourself.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay off my debts and send my wife to Honolulu, Hawaii with her sisters on a "sister trip". She has been once, and she fell in love with the island.
