Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My last tattoo was the Targaryen sigil — a symbol of fire, blood, and rising no matter what. I got it put on my elbow, showing that even when life bends you, you don’t break. It reminds me that the fire inside me kept me alive when I was at my lowest.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

“This wasn’t some clean, easy journey. It was messy, loud, and got ugly at times. There’s no map for the road he took. Some lessons came easy, but most did not. Every scar, every line, every mistake has led him to being a better man than he ever thought he could be.” -Piper’s Ink

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use it to take my family on a trip to help people who are struggling. I want my kids to see what real hardship looks like, to give back with their own hands, and to understand that success isn’t just about what you have, it’s about what you give. It’s a lesson I hope they carry for life.
