Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is a traditional bear head with a fish in its mouth on my knee. This tattoo was inspired by my father who passed away in June of 2024. He was the pappa bear to my son and avid fisherman. He taught me how to fish and we have fished together my entire life. Even when we were homeless we would still find ways to go and fish. Fishing taught me many things but patience is the largest. So i had my artist help me design this tattoo that embodies my father.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Most of it would say this ain't my first rodeo. All of my tattoos have a meaning. Most of them hidden but thats the point. They are for me and not for anyone else. My tattoos would say iv been through some shit but came out on top and am always making strides to better my self and those around me. Im a real as person staying gold.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With 25k i would use that to help buy a new house. After my father passed away I now have my mother living with me. Me and my wife both work from home and I have a 5 year old non verbal autistic son who is the greatest thing ever. We are all currently living/working in a three bedroom home and I am trying to save up to get this house ready to rent out as well as move into a larger home that supports my family now and in the future. Id love to have another child and also more room for mom.
