What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Losing my son to suicide is hands down any parents worst nightmare. I wanted my tattoo to be a tribute to him, and also start conversations around mental health.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would say that no matter who you are, what you’ve done or been through you have value. Someone cares about you being here… so stay!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Some would be put away for my grandson for college. The rest would be used towards furthering my education. I’m currently working on being certified as a yoga teacher with a focus on helping people heal trauma.
