Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My recent tattoo was inspired by my oldest son he was diagnosed with autism he was non verbal until he was 6 years old so he mine form of communication was sign language or his talk box which is a communication device and well while my son was in speech to help he learned how to sign "I love you" in sign language and that why I got the I love you sign on my wrist so I can wear it with me everywhere

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

COVID(skull), Grandfather(rose), Autistic Son(I love you), Grandmother name(left forearm), Husband Name(Chest), My older sister(left arm), My daughter culture so her being half samoan and half white in Hello Kitty(left upper arm) and My twin sister matching tattoo(Turtle)

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would like to get some more work done my main goal is I want to get a samoan malu done with my daughter this is a traditional female tattoo and it means to be protected and sheltered. It's applied from the knees up to the top of the thighs. Both male and female get these tattoos to show that they are ready for life, for adulthood, and to be of service to their families and community. I take my husband and kids back home to Samoa to get the tattoo done
