I survived rape, addiction, and attempts to end my life. No one saved me—I had to save myself. My tattoos tell my story, a Tree of Life for growth through pain, and a semicolon for surviving suicide. I’m still here. Still growing. Still alive.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my tattoos could speak, they’d tell a story of resilience and renewal. The Tree of Life and semicolon symbolize my survival and growth beyond trauma. Now, I’m planning a blue plant-themed sleeve to represent healing and new beginnings.
What would you do with the $25,000?I’d use most to pay off trauma-related bills, invest a portion, and use the rest to complete my tattoo sleeve as part of my healing.
