Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Getting this tattoo with my best friend of 12 years marked a turning point. Learning about the lost 13th month and the spider’s wisdom shifted my view of the world—showing me how much knowledge has been hidden or erased. It deepened my connection to forgotten truths and spiritual insight. That day wasn’t just a fun memory—it became a symbol of awakening, reminding me to question what I’ve been taught and seek meaning in what lies beneath the surface.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

This tattoo symbolizes the spiritual wisdom of the spider—an ancient creature often associated with intellect, creativity, and fate. The number 13 represents the lost 13th month, a symbol of stolen time and hidden knowledge stripped from our collective awareness. The spider serves as a reminder to seek truth beyond what’s commonly accepted, to honor forgotten wisdom, and to trust in the deeper spiritual patterns woven through existence.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I’d invest in a quality tattoo apprenticeship, covering mentorship fees and essential supplies. I’d build a professional-grade setup—machine, inks, sanitation tools—and develop a strong portfolio. Funds would also go toward licensing, conventions, and marketing to grow my client base. This support would jumpstart my career, helping me learn from the best while building a safe, creative, and skilled foundation in tattooing
