We each got a tattoo of 3 bats, which symbolize the 3 of us. It was the first (and, as of now, only) tattoo for all of us.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

We let our daughter choose the theme. She saw the pictures of girls with birds and liked the idea, but didn’t want to be cliche. We like dark and spooky, and Batman is my favorite superhero, so she decided on bats instead. They’re on our left forearms because it leads to our hearts.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Although it maybe dark, our family will always be together

What would you do with the $25,000?

Our daughter is graduating high school this year and moving on to college, so that money would go into her college fund. She wants to become a teacher. I’m a disabled vet and put in 7 years as a state trooper, as much time as I could with the health issues I have going on. It’s hard to keep a job and provide like I want to for my family, so this money would help keep my daughter from piling up debt before she really gets started as an adult. I appreciate your consideration.
