My hand tattoo is a memorial piece that I designed. My dear ones, the Fantastic 4, passed in a car accident in 2011. Still feels fresh. <\3

My most recent tattoo is the word “Balance” in cursive on my right collarbone. I was born with scoliosis and I’ve dealt with clinical depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. This is my constant reminder to find my balance in life.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?It would say, “I’m passionate, genuine, sincere, simple and real.” My most meaningful tattoo is the one on my left shoulder blade. It screams “mommyhood” and my “roots!”I got it when my son turned 8 months on a Friday the 13th. It is the outline of the state of Cali and it has my son’s initials and birthdate. It was lightly shaded in red which ended up being my son’s favorite color now that he’s 8 years old!!!!
What would you do with the $25,000?I’ve promised my son that I would buy him a house. This would help. Protecting my child and giving him a haven of his own would be a dream come true. My son is on the ASD spectrum and is so full of life and love. I just want to nurture these parts of him for the rest of my life.
