What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo means strength in Japanese kanji. I had a severe fear of needles my whole life. Having the strength to overcome that was my inspiration. Since getting the tattoo my fear has dulled to mild anxiety at worst.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink now, and my future planed tattoos. Would speak of tradition In culture, history and the spiritual aspect each have played in those societies.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would finally buy be able to buy a reliable vehicle. Being a single father with twins. Transportation is something I worry about a lot. I have gotten by fixing my vehicles keeping them going on there last leg but it would be nice to own a vehicle that has less than 100k miles or newer than 20 years old.
