My ink is unique because It has the journey of my life. We all start and end in the same place, but the journey there is the fun part.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is the skull/flower on the back of my right bicep. I swear I'm not that guy. but yes it is a mirrored matching flash tattoo found in a 5 minute google search with the love of my life. We found it online and said ink it while parking to walk into the shop all within 20 minutes tops lol. The idea about getting matching tattoos and what general direction we wanted to go with was discussed for a few weeks ahead of time though. I've never been more sure of any tattoo I have.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Find your calm. Look for your path. Oh shit squirrel. I have nautical stars, script for remembrance of not ever letting my anxiety/depression get me to the point of attempting suicide again, my daughter's names, a Japanese traditional sleeve, skulls on my chest, a tattoo for love and a start of a American traditional sleeve with a WOW heart tattoo... Kidding I know it says mom to everyone else. Everyone of them speaks to a point in my life though.

What would you do with the $25,000?

First pay some bills. Let's be honest though some of this is going to ink. I would dedicate like 2 grand to pieces of my American traditional sleeve. The rest would go to bills, fighting the never ending custody battle of my daughters. My divorce was a very eye opening slap in the face having my daughters used to hurt me and financially ruin me fighting for custody of them.
