Enter For FreeMy most recent tattoos were cover ups of relics from my 20s - a set of Chinese characters on the inside of my ankles. I chose to get a lotus tattoos that symbolize purity, rebirth, spiritual awakening, and beauty, often associated with overcoming adversity and rising above challenges. The left ankle has a snake crawling through the lotus as a symbol of healing, wisdom, and power.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would say I’m a survivor, and quite literally a warrior. When I was first diagnosed with cancer I got a tiny lotus tattoo to mark the vein for the many blood tests I would be getting. To celebrate beating cancer the first time I got an ambigram of the word warrior. Then when my cancer came back I got an evil eye tattoo to mark the vein on my other arm. My other ink is a tramp stamp that says on earth there are pieces of heaven, to me was about living life to its fullest.
What would you do with the $25,000?What would I do with the $25,000? Pay off debt and take my kids on a vacation to Disney world. We have been though so much, between two cancer battles and an ugly divorce, they deserve a trip that is only about them.
