What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I'm a huge Bettie Page fan, and pin-up in general. I commissioned a New Orleans artist Ocean Clark to paint me a Bettie painting. I loved it so much I had it stuck on my forearm.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

They would speak to the life I have lived. World traveler, veteran, commercial diver, now on my way to becoming a psychologist. I want to help other veterans with PTSD.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Naturally get some more ink, but over that I think find a way to help my brothers and sisters in uniform.
