Learn MoreMy most recent tattoo is a butterfly, inspired by transformation and resilience. To me, it symbolizes the beauty that can come from change—even when the process is painful. It’s a reminder that growth often happens in silence, and that it’s okay to emerge from the cocoon as someone entirely new
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would say that I’ve been through hell and back but continue to be a badass. Many of my tattoos are a tribute to my father who passed in a motorcycle accident. Others are for my two sons, and some are just for me. Each piece shows a part of me that I lost, grew, or love.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won the $25,000 prize, I’d use it to create a better future for my two sons. Whether it’s saving for their education, building memories through travel, or simply giving them more stability, the prize would be an investment in their happiness and growth. Everything I do is for them, and this would be a chance to show them that dreams—big or small—are always worth chasing
