I am autistic, & fonts are one of my special interests is the history of fonts. My most recent tattoo is wingding on my knuckles. Wingding comes from the 19th century font, dingbat. & that really resonates with me, as I am a dingbat!
If your ink could speak, what would it say?It would tell a story of post traumatic growth. They tell of my journey into loving myself & being a mirror of hope, not just for myself, but others that struggle with mental illnesses & trauma. My tattoos tell others that I do not bend to the desires of others. I stand strong & tall, no matter what life throws at me. I dance with the wind as it takes me where it pleases.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the money to help open my business of owning & operating my own bakery. My dream is to operate a bakery where I can employ other neurodiverse & mentally ill people who have struggled to find gainful employment. I am supported by my mother & would also love to give some of the money to her, as a thank you for her benevolence.
