I never thought I would ever get a tattoo but when my little brother took his life I got a memorial tattoo and I was hooked.

Enter For FreeMy most recent tattoo was a memorial portrait tattoo of my dog Max above my heart. He passed away a year ago at 19. He brought me so much happiness especially during the difficult times in my life. He was like one of my children. I never in my life thought I could love an animal the way I loved my Max. I was so happy with the piece my tattoo artist drew up for me that I ended up getting four additional tattoos that same month!
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak it would tell people that I wear my heart on my sleeve. My life is an open book and my tattoos express my love for many different things in my life including my children, my parents (who have both passed away), my baby brother (who passed away), and my dog ( who also passed away). They also show my love of roses and sunflowers as well as my zodiac sign, Pisces. Several cover scars from my 36 surgeries.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I win it would be a major blessing in my life. I have been disabled 30 years and I do not collect disability. I have had 36 surgeries at ( 8 on my spine alone) plus four strokes and two heart attacks. I am financially struggling and the money would pay off my credit card debt and allow my to get some more ink which makes me soooo happy. I would be so grateful for the opportunity to actually win something in my life.
