Enter For FreeMy latest tattoo is inspired by Alice in Wonderland, a story that’s always sparked my imagination. I’ve dreamed of having a full, colorful sleeve that brings the characters and scenes to life. Alice’s journey through a wild, unpredictable world reflects how I see life—full of creativity, curiosity, and courage. This tattoo is more than art; it’s a tribute to embracing the unusual and expressing the dreamer in me. I’ve started the sleeve, and I can’t wait
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would tell stories of loss, love, and strength. It would speak of the people I’ve lost—especially those whose absence changed me forever. Through grief, I’ve found growth. My tattoos are more than art; they’re healing, reminders of who I’ve loved, who I’ve become, and how far I’ve come. Each piece carries emotion, memory, and the resilience I’ve built along the way.
What would you do with the $25,000?As a newly divorced mom, $25,000 would be life-changing. I’d use it to stay afloat financially, cover monthly expenses, and create a more stable, secure life for my son and daughter. It would give us breathing room and help me provide the support and opportunities they deserve while we rebuild and move forward together.
