Mandala center, nature's touch—fern, magnolia, sweet potato. Time on my shoulder, direction on the other. My journey in ink.

This tattoo was born from a deep connection to balance, nature, and purpose. At its heart is a mandala, symbolizing inner harmony and unity. Flowing outward, elements of Mother Nature—Sacred geometry weaves these symbols together, while delicate filigree curves along the side of my back, echoing the natural lines of my body. A pocket watch on my left shoulder marks the importance of time, while a compass on the right guides me with direction, both essential forces in my path to success.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If ink could speak, it would whisper of balance and becoming. It would remind me to grow like the vine, bloom like the magnolia, and endure like the fern. It would trace time across my shoulder, urging patience, and point me forward with the compass, reminding me that I already carry my path. I am my own story—rooted in purpose, shaped by nature, and etched in sacred rhythm. It would tell me to keep moving. I am exactly where I am meant to be.
What would you do with the $25,000?1/3 would go to my daughter, 1/3 would go to the artist, 1/3 would go to the NOLA toy drive.
