Adapted from the Savage Daughter song, this tattoo signifies my strength coping with Lupus and FND. The cat through smoke means mystery and resilience; broom and moon mean cycles and healing. Bones and feathers symbolize the coexistence of agony and grace. It's a dance celebrating my wild, holy soul—still raging, still standing.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?I am the fire she walks on, the mystery she carries. I speak of wars unseen—of Lupus and FND, of strength concealed in gentleness. I am her wild, her healing, her magic made manifest. I say to you: she may bend, but she will not break.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won, I would use the $25,000 to finance my healing and wellness with Lupus and FND—covering treatments, accessibility tools, and health resources. I would also fund advocacy projects that are creative in nature, like writing and art that raise awareness for invisible illness. Especially projects for FND as it is overlooked.
