What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is a girl with the face of a butterfly I’ve been learning self love lately I’ve been so caught up in loving everyone else Id forgot to water myself I’ve struggled with suicide as well as depression when I was younger so I know what it’s like to be needing a helping hand as well as being the helping hand I’ve learned to see my beauty on the outside as well as the inside

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak it would say, I’ve been through a lot but my odds do not defy me. I’ve loved even when people were incapable of loving me back. I’ve overcome every situation I thought to be impossible. It would say I’m not all the way healed but I’m on my way to being just that at peace

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d use that 25,000 to get myself an apartment might living situation is not the best im currently in a homeless shelter but aside from that id put myself through barber school as well, I’ve been cutting hair for about 5 years now I started on myself of course. But its a love/passion of mine and once I’m financially stable enough I’ll open my own shop and offer cuts to new clients old clients as well as the homeless!
