I don’t really have a great story for the ink I currently have. I just really like angel artwork and love the way it looks.

My recent tattoo is my sleeve of 3 different patron saints. Saint Jude, Saint Christopher, and Saint Michael. I was inspired to get because I believe Saint Jude and Christopher have helped me in difficult and scary times. I was inspired to get Saint Michael because some of my closest friends are police and military.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?I’m not very good with that type of stuff but I think together they would say something along the lines of, “We are symbols of strength. We are the guardians and protectors of you.”
What would you do with the $25,000?I have a lot of tattoo ideas that I would like to do but just can’t afford, so definitely interested in that. Put money aside for St. Jude Children Hospital since I donate to them. Anything left I would like to go towards my wedding in 2026.
