My most recent tattoo was the garden on my back. It is not finished yet. My grandparents recently passed and they raised me. My grandmother named me and my grandfather taught me everything to know about the world. We are from the country area which has a lot of plants, crops, and farm land. So I dedicated the flowers and butterflies to them in remembrance of their care and love for nature- but also how they helped me grow into the woman I am today. The grief has been so intense and difficult.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would say that it wants to increase! My ink would say that it’s vibrant and has meaning beyond its looks or the words etched on my body. My ink would say that it’s creative and it’s the epitome of self expression. The caged bird does sing and my skin shows the melody of life.
What would you do with the $25,000?With the $25,000, I would be able to get headstones for my grandparents gravesites but I would also be able to take care of my self and then invest into my starter business of creating a community outreach center for individuals impacted by special needs and mental health needs. My family members are directly impacted by this as well. In North Carolina this is truly needed to support the community and one another as the world changes and talks of services possibly ending.
