My tattoos honor my dad’s memory and reflect the dark feminine power I gained by surviving the shadows life threw at me.

My most recent tattoo says “Nemo Nisi Mors”, not even death can part us. It’s in gothic fine lines with my wedding date, 11/13/2024. It’s a symbol of eternal love, loyalty, and dark romanticism.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If all my ink could speak, it would tell you I’m a bold, unapologetic force, shaped by pain, fueled by darkness, and proud of it. It would say I’ve walked through hell, embraced every shadow, and turned it into power. I don’t hide my dark goth energy, I wear it like armor.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the $25K prize to launch Mourning Dolls, a modeling collective and community for alt, goth, and queer individuals who embrace their dark identity. The funds will help create a volunteer-driven space in Omaha, NE empowering people to connect, pursue their passions, and give back to causes that inspire them. Mourning Dolls is about building a bold, inclusive community rooted in self-expression, purpose, and dark creativity.
