Enter For FreeMy most recent tattoo was a matching celestial design on my leg that I got with my 2 cousins. As we have grown older together, we have found a bond we didn't anticipate. We all got the same tattoo but "highlighted" different parts of the tattoo that exemplified our individual personalities. While it might not be my most unique tattoo it is very meaningful and connects us for life.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Wow... It would tell a story of my life. My tattoos all exemplify aspects of my personality, my beliefs as a Jew, my personal journey in life. Each tattoo represents a certain time in my life - change, challenge, birth(s), death. The ink would tell a story of a 16 year old who got her first tattoo (with a fake ID - LOL), who grew into a woman, a wife, a mother, an educator. My back was not a singular vision. It is a composition that took shape over 12 years and I love it all.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay for my son's college. I have 3 kids and my eldest is graduating high school in a few weeks. We have done all we can to support him but can't afford the school he wants most. So it would go to his college experience. Being a parent is not only physically and emotionally challenging but no one ever tells you how economically challenging it is.
