What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I have tattoos lots of places I could hide. My baby brother would call me a closet tattoo and that art work was meant to be shown off. He took his life July 4 and inspired me to get art that I could show off. So, after meeting several artist, I found the perfect one who listened to my story and drew up the sleeve that told our story.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I believe when I look at my sleeve, it's my brother telling me how proud of me he is. And it allows me to tell the world the importance of mental health and how suicide affects those they choice to leave behind.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to help my 2 college age children with college and get mother daughter tattoos.
