What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I have severe PTSD from my tour in iraq 2002, my initial return home I didn't "feel different" but something was off. I self medicated, failed marriage & self destruction FF 2024 I turned my life to God, and my life did a complete turnaround. It's to remind me of where I was to where I am now.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

That I've lived an interesting life, I have inner demons I've blossomed from, that I have faith in my God but I'm no better than anyone else, nor am I perfect. That I'm loyal to my fellow veterans 100% a bit flirty and a little silly. A place, initials, or names of places I've been & those I hold dear to my heart. My military unit and year I left for my duties to protect my country. The skin that's empty means my story isn't over yet, when my next chp ends there's a place to add that story.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Being a disabled veteran I live on a set income. And lots of trips to the VA for Dr. Appts, therapy and all that fun stuff. And my vehicle has over 200,000 miles $10,000 would go towards a trade-in for a more reliable car. One of my grandkids is autistic so I'd give my daughter, his Mom, $5000 to get him in a good school. The rest would be a European cruise for sure. ALWAYS have wanted to do that.
