My most recent is thigh tattoo featuring a beautifully detailed elephant adorned with lilies. It’s a tribute to my sister, who passed away almost a year ago now. She had a small pink elephant tattoo on her ankle—quirky and imperfect, but uniquely hers. To honor her memory, I wanted ann elephant that was more refined and sofisticated and add the lilies, which represent July’s birth month.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?I am more than pigment and pattern—I am memories made visible.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I were to win the $25,000 prize, I would first allocate a portion to paying off outstanding debts, easing the financial strain from my recent battle with cancer. Next, I’d plan a restorative vacation to rejuvenate after the long journey through treatments. The remaining funds would be invested in my children’s education, college savings plan, to support their future academic endeavors and reduce their reliance on student loans.
