Temet Nosce. Tats tell my story of how I came to love and understand myself. It's a part of how I've become; to love myself and others.

My serendipity tattoo was inspired by my husband. He helped me heal from my past and learn true love. He has supported me and taught me how to look for happiness in the most unlikely of places and even to accept that happiness.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Hopefully, my tattoos show a balance of lady and rebel. A guardian of nature and love for myself and acceptance of my past. My shoulder tattoo is really "my chip on my shoulder" that though I was damaged once, I blossomed. I hope my tattoos show people how to embrace both the good and bad parts of ourselves and from the bad we create art and love. I am both responsible and rebellious. Lady and boss. Gentle and harsh. A storm of clashing truth and peaceful wonder.
What would you do with the $25,000?I'd like to pay off my student loans and go back to school for an MS in nutrition and diet, RDN. I've used food as a way to control my symptoms from PCOS and increase my energy for years by finding what's right for my body. I would love to share that knowledge and help people feel as empowered in their own bodies. This would put myself in a better position to help my community and support other issues I deeply care about; humanitarianism, education and environment movements.
