My most recent tattoo is the demons tangled in vines on my left arm was inspired by my personal struggle with addiction. The imagery of demons reflects the internal battles and darkness I’ve faced, while the vines symbolize both entrapment and growth. They represent how addiction can entangle you, but also how recovery is a process of untangling and regrowth like nature reclaiming something broken.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak I think it would say.. Ink born in a cell, my story runs deep. Addiction carved its mark demons on my arm show the fight I faced. Time lost, love remembered. My mom’s words on my wrist kept me going. My back holds pride, my neck, freedom and faith. Through it all, I rose. My tattoos say it loud: addiction tried to break me, but I turned pain into purpose.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I win the $25,000, I’d use it to start fresh build something real from everything I’ve survived. I’d invest in a future beyond addiction and incarceration, maybe start a business or help others who are where I used to be. I want to turn my pain into a platform to prove that ink isn’t just art, it’s survival, it’s transformation, and it’s a second chance.
