What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo holds deep significance for me, stemming from two powerful sources of inspiration: my children and the profound impact of my father’s passing. The design reflects the unwavering love I have for my kids, symbolizing their presence in my life and the joy they bring me every day. Each element of the tattoo is a tribute to their individuality and the bond we share. On the other hand, the tattoo also serves as a poignant reminder of my father.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would tell a story of authenticity and genuine love, reflecting values that are deeply woven into the fabric of family-oriented connections. Each mark on the page would echo the motivation driving my aspirations and the determination that fuels my goals. This metaphorical voice embodies the spirit of resilience and purpose, capturing the essence of what it means to strive for success while cherishing the bonds that matter most.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I were to win the $25,000, it would be an absolute game-changer for my family and our wedding plans! My fiancé just proposed on May 14th, 2025, and I can't help but dream about how this prize could really enhance our celebration. We would put a good portion of it towards creating a beautiful and memorable wedding that reflects our love and commitment. Additionally, it would allow us to invest in our future together, maybe even set aside some money for a house!
