I started getting tattoos at a time in my life when I felt I had no voice. Tattoos allowed me to show people my story rather than tell them.

My most recent tattoo was to honor a woman who helped me through my emotional trauma. She reminded me of a wise old owl, so I got an owl tattooed on my forearm to symbolize her. She always referred to me as a queen, on the opposite forearm in the same place I tattooed a queen bee. When I fold my hands together and meditate the owl and bee are positioned to have deep conversations.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak it would tell a story of love and adventure. A story of family, traveling, and lessons learned.
What would you do with the $25,000?I am currently in school for my education degree. In the public school system I often cover my tattoos. Students who ask about the tattoos I chose to leave uncovered love hearing the stories that go along with them. If I win the 25,000$ it would go towards paying off my student loans and preparing myself to be in a debt-free position after graduation.
