Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

The 3 I got in the same session were spontaneous in a state of need to feel, & release. To me represents the duality and simultaneous existence of light and darkness in life. How they can - MUST- coexist, and how there is work to be done to maintain the beauty that can come from their relationship; to RISE above the fine line of losing control and not only exist but THRIVE.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Right now, it is bits and pieces of a story. My story and the experiences that have made me. Ones that, as time goes on, my understanding of each experience changes because i have changed & I reflect differently leading me to learn something knew. With that being said, every experience is not to be taken at face value. It is likely more than you realize. Your new lesson will only come when youre ready to receive it, so take from it what you need when you need it. The story isn't over.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I am a Mama of three (3) and while $ isn't everything, part of it would definitely facilitate beautiful experiences & core memories to come. Most likely in travel or in their special interests. I would also like for it to help us reach our goal to building our forever home in the near future. Lastly, I would like to use part of it to pour into the community through mental health and wellness.
