It’s a skull and rose—classic tough girl with a soft side. My grandpa actually picked it out, and we went and got matching ones like a couple of rebels. To anyone else it might look like a biker badge or a metal album cover, but to me, it says: ‘Life’s short, but badass—and it’s better when you’ve got your grandpa along for the ride.

If my leg sleeve could speak, it’d probably laugh, scream, and cue the creepy soundtrack. Each character inked into my leg would say, ‘Remember us? We were the monsters under your bed, the thrill of Saturday nights, and the reason you and Grandpa stayed up way too late.’ They’d remind me that horror wasn’t just about fear, it was about family, and joy in the unexpected. Every scar, slash, and shadow is a love letter to my childhood and the man who shared it with me.

With $25K, I’d split it between smart and unforgettable. I’d save a good chunk toward buying property and building a home.. that’s the dream. But I’d also take part of it and go on a once-in-a-lifetime vacation with my family, something totally unique and unforgettable. Think less tourist traps, more bucket list—somewhere we can completely disconnect, soak it all in, and come back with stories no one else has.
