Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and committed suicide when I was 29 wks pregnant with my first child in 2023 and my most recent tat is tribute to him.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Some of it would go to a sick ass arm or leg sleeve and the rest would go towards renovating my home that my dad left to me in his will for my son. As a single mother I want to make it the best home for him. I also want go back to school to be an Auto and Aircraft painter. I want to paint celeb private jets and everybody’s cars.
