If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would shout, “Always cherish the breathtaking beauty of this incredible life we’ve been given!” Every piece I create captures a unique moment, whether joyful or challenging, inviting you to dive deep into my experiences. With each artwork, you can almost hear the highs and lows of my journey echoing through the colors and shapes. It’s a vivid tapestry of emotions waiting to be explored!
What would you do with the $25,000?If I had $25,000, I would first use it to make a down payment on a place for my twin boys and me, both of whom are also represented in tattoos on my body. I would finish my sleeve with additional designs I've been considering. I would pay off all my debts and focus on rebuilding our lives for my children and myself.
