What inspired your most recent tattoo?

The crow on my hand was my latest tattoo. It’s a reminder of my mortality, that this life is not forever and to not waist it. My adoptive dad had a pet crow that would come visit us on the daily and anytime I see a crow now I think back to those memories and how much my and dad has inspired me and influenced my life, even tho we are no longer in contact he helped mold the person I am today and I never want to forget that.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could tell a story, it would speak of resilience, growth, and the moments that shaped me. Each line is a chapter—etched not just on my skin, but in my journey. It would tell of lessons learned, battles fought, and the pride I carry in becoming who I am today.”

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay all my depts I owe to start fresh. The 25k would be a new beginning for me and my small family. I would also like to give back to my local community here in my city. There’s alot of people here who are a lot less fortunate then I am. And if could help with even just a hot meal and warm clothes that might just be enough to pull someone out of the rut they are in. I wouldn’t be here today without the help of others and I want to be able to pay that forward.
