Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I am a tattoo artist myself and a neighbor wanted a design done pretty big on her side. It was sketch art and I wasn't sure how it would convey over into a tattoo so to test it out, I literally tattooed a smaller trial size of it on myself. It came out nice and we followed through with hers.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would explain the lessons I've leaned, wars I've waged, vulnerabilities I've overcome, sorrows in my soul, and it would express the unconditional love within my heart.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use it to give my children a little more happiness by asking what they would like to do with it. They have been through so much in their short lives and have taught me the true meaning of resilience. I believe love is the purpose of life and without those 3 little girls, I would be nothing. Their happiness means the world to me and I couldn't think of a better way to spend it.
