My most recent tattoo is a scorpion—because my father was stung by Mexico’s most venomous one, never saw a doctor, and survived. It’s a symbol of strength in my bloodline. The same happened to my youngest brother—no antibiotics, just raw resilience. This ink represents our unbreakable will and natural resistance, proof that what runs through our veins is something rare and powerful.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would whisper the way to enlightenment, roar for freedom, and beat with the truth that strength is born in the heart. Each symbol is a fragment of ancient power etched in modern flesh—a legacy of survival, protection, and purpose.
What would you do with the $25,000?I'd help my family get back on their feet and finally breathe without the weight of struggle. A portion would fund my new business—a dream I’ve been building from the ground up, aiming to create something that empowers others. I'd also invest in tools to grow my skills, elevate my brand, and open doors not just for myself, but for my community.
