What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is inspired my my 1970s Polaroid SX 70 Land Camera passed down to me by my father. I have Polaroids of my parents as teenagers shot with that camera and now I have my own memories captured with that camera. As a photographer and vintage camera lover, it’s really something special.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak it would say, “we are lonely and need more friends” lol! Also it would say “I miss my nonna”, it would say “I want to believe” (even if it’s hard to sometimes or a lot of times), it says, “keep moving”, and that “the beginning is just the beginning”. “Hope is powerful”

What would you do with the $25,000?

There are so many things! I have always dreamed of getting a full tattoo sleeve, so I would absolutely love to do that! And then I’d probably replace my death tub with a walk in shower. I have this old 80s plastic jacuzzi tub shower combo in my bathroom that I have slipped in more times than I can count. We like to call it the “death tub”. The jets probably stopped working in 1989, so who knows what creatures live in their depths!
