Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Honestly Jose Cuervo. Just kidding (kind of). I’d been craving some clean line work and love anything earthy and ornate. I snagged a Friday the 13th deal and spent the day getting inked with a good friend. Cheap thrills, pretty lines, and solid vibes, what more could you want?

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could tell a story, it’d definitely be one of those old-school fairy tales like pre-Disney, slightly unhinged, a little spooky, but oddly romantic. Think tragic romantic comedy meets myth and folklore, with a side of life lessons and cosmic plot twists. It would ramble about the people I’ve met, the things I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way), and the magic tucked into everyday moments.

What would you do with the $25,000?

First, I’d carve out a little chunk to celebrate maybe a few new tattoos, because why not mark the moment? Then I’d get serious: knock out some lingering finances, boost my savings, and finally start building the dream an art studio where I can paint, throw clay, and make all the messy magic I crave. I’d love a place of my own too. This economy’s wild, but I’m still out here manifesting stability and a kiln.
