I got a Luna moth to remind me that transformation is quiet, but powerful. They live briefly, yet beautifully—drawn to the light even in the dark. It felt like the perfect symbol for where I’m at in life: evolving, embracing change, and chasing what feels true to me, even when the path isn’t clear. It’s a reminder that rebirth doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it’d whisper truths I never said out loud—about pain I outlived, love I lost, and strength I never knew I had. It would tell you I broke, I healed, and I chose to wear every scar as art. They remind me that I’m still here—still fighting, still becoming. It’s not just ink. It’s my life story.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would take my daughter to Disneyland, or on a Disney cruise. The rest would go into her savings.
