My most recent tattoos ate Ganesh and the tribal dolphin. Ganesh was inspired by my grandmother both of wondrous creation and destruction. My grandmother not only raised 7 of her own, but also my little brother and I. The dolphin was inspired by my mother. She passed way from leukemia when I was 8. I don’t have many memories of my mom, but i remember her love for dolphins.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, you’d hear words of wisdom, encouragement, hope, love, pain, pity, selfishness, and maturity. My ink is are songs of color mashed together to create art on my skin. My tattoos tell one story an interesting journey. My one 7 billion story of being human.
What would you do with the $25,000?25,000? First, I would give a portion to my grandmother a significant portion to help pay off some bills in advance. I moved home a few years ago to help create a more comfortable space as she’s grown older. She has this romanticized idea she isn’t where she wants to be, and she does deserve better. She sacrificed the best years of her life to working and raising 9 kids altogether. If there is any left for me, I would pay off my student loan debt, and pay off some of my car note.
