What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is in memory of my brother, I have a live version of a heart locket necklace that holds his ashes inside of. So just in case I ever lost it I wanted to get the exact locket tattooed on my left arm next to my Batman sleeve I have already in honor of my brother. I just love how my tattoo artist brings things to life almost like 3D on my skin and the locket means so much to me and it came out perfect! Along with that I added a few fillers related to Batman and joker themed.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would say this woman is a warrior and the strongest most humble! I put a lot of thought and planning into each and every piece of artwork I get. Very vibrant colors, very vivid artwork! My ink would tell a story through out my life of each and every thing I’ve been through and I would express through ink in my sessions. My body is my canvas and im a walking story book of the most positive energy and just an over all love soul!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly the $25,000 would definitely help out my family, I’m currently unemployed seeking a job after I was mistreated at my previous job. Been struggling with finding stability while my partner has been pulling all the weight. We have 2 children who depend on us. It would pay off what little debt we have and hopefully help with a payment towards a small house so our kids can finally play in a backyard! And save some to put into our life insurance for our kids god forbid anything happens
