What makes them unique is that they are on me and with special meanings. I was 50 when I got my first one and have NEVER regretted it.

Enter For FreeI am a sea turtle lover. I was lucky enough to be able to hold a baby one at a hatchery in Mexico. They are beautiful creatures that are graceful and mesmerizing. They are intelligent and wise. Have you watched one swimming in the ocean? They are just beautiful. That’s why my tattoo shows it swimming underwater. (Besides, I have a red -eared slider, a turtle in a tank, named Brutus that is 36 years old.)
If your ink could speak, what would it say?All my ink is thought out by me. Every one with a meaning behind it. With that in mind, I hope people see me in all of them. That they see the beauty in them. Also, if they question me about them I would be absolutely happy to tell the story. The one on my left wrist is for my husband and I. It’s there because the main blood vessel that goes directly to my heart. My other wrist has my daughter’s names. And so on…..
What would you do with the $25,000?Work on my 1/2 sleeve, the underwater scene starring my turtle. I have Parkinson’s disease and my husband retired to take care of me. (I fall a lot, forget things and cannot drive now.). Because of that I would like to take him on a trip. Plus help pay for a swimming pool for me to use. I know that all of that is way more than $25k but you asked. Lol
