What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Loss and memories. And friendship. Connections. Life. My friends talked me into my first basic one. And I went from that and incorporated a name that covers so much more than the daughter we lost with colors that represent things that matter to me-cancers and genetics, loss and service=strength, resilience, and hope. So, thru all of that, a representation of a lifetime of friendships and connections, loss and love.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I am me. I am enough as I am, and the support of my circle and connection made while living in this world are important. (And I like pretty, vibrant color that will support my darker life aspects)

What would you do with the $25,000?

More ink. :) Always more ink. On a more serious note: I want to step into supporting myself and my family without working for someone else. I have soo many ideas and the desire to learn more. Always more-our world and how it works is a fascinating place. I would have to decide which path would be best, for myself and my families future. On a fun note-a small vacation would be lovely, too!!
