The inspiration behind my most recent tattoo is a tattoo shop that I frequent was doing a toys for tats event for christmas (For the toys for tots charity), so I bought a toy for a kid that may not have gotten one and and I got a small tattoo.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would tell the story of my life. The trauma, the love, the people i've lost along the way ,the nerdiness, as well as my love for art and so much more. I used to be ashamed of it but when I was young, I self harmed. When I started getting tattoos, I stopped hurting myself.Getting tattooed I literally saved my life.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay off some debts get so much needed dental work done and of course, I would probably at least spend a little bit on a new tattoo. And as hard as it is to survive earth in this economy right now, I'd probably put some of it in a savings account. I've always wanted to start my own business. So, putting some of it in a savings account would be a really good start towards that goal.
