What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I feel as tho tattoos are a form of expression. Story telling or simply the love of someone’s art. My most recent tattoo was a thigh add on with more flowers and another butterfly. No color (as most of my ink doesn’t have color). My current tattoo artist August Fifth is a phenomenal artist so, I needed more of her flowers on my body. Flowers and butterflies symbolize spring, a new year of FRESH beginnings. I needed these reminders sometimes that starting over fresh is okay and it&

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink would tell you that I’ve overcome a lot in my life, I’ve succeeded a lot in my life, I’ve grown and evolved. I enjoy the beauty of art and unique tattoos. From placement to the art image itself. The slight pain of the needle hitting my flesh is the pure reminder that I’m here, life is good and I’m a boss! One of many definitions of MY BODY MY CHOICE!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would buy farm land and start my huge garden that I’ve always wanted to do. At the same time providing food to those who need it as well as those who don’t want to or simply can’t pay high prices for good produce. I want to be able to provide that and, see how big I can grow from there. This has always been a huge goal of mine and 25k would help more than enough to accomplish that goal. I’d also expand my adult shop.
