I have 11 tattoos and each piece has a story... They are my personal narrative. They represent certain times in my life & being alive!
Join now for your shot at $25,000, a tattoo session with Bang Bang, and a feature in Inked Magazine!
Enter For FreeMy most recent tat is a colorful Phoenix on my left thigh. How cliche, right? She is beautiful and represents all the second chances in life. I am a stage 3 cervical cancer survivor. I am a divorced mom due to infidelity. I've since become wheelchair bound due to a neurological disorder but I keep rising from the ashes just as beautiful and strong as before. I wanted her to be big and seen so I could tell my story when asked. One knock down after another but I'm still here.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would tell my story. Some pieces are about my cancer survival, some represent my kids. Others represent certain time periods in my life. Basically the story is to keep fighting, never give up and never grow up!
What would you do with the $25,000?Honestly, a new tattoo or two would be in that mix lol but my now husband and I just bought a house. I would use it to make my space handicap accessible so I can enjoy it just as much as if I was able bodied. It would become our favorite vacation spot...right at home! And handicap accessible toys like bikes and four wheelers...I still wanna have fun!
