Enter For FreeMy cherry blossom and fan tattoo was inspired by the beauty of nature and femininity. The blossoms remind me of strength in softness, and the fan represents elegance and self-expression. As someone who’s always seen beauty as art, this piece reflects a part of my soul and how I’ve used creativity to heal and grow.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?It would say: This is a life lived fully—through beauty and pain, darkness and light. My ink tells the story of survival and growth. Each piece holds a moment I lived through, a memory I carry, and proof that even in hard times, something beautiful can be created.
What would you do with the $25,000?I’d buy a reliable car—mine was lost during a time I was escaping domestic violence. I’d use the rest to take a trip with my dogs to fulfill promises I made to them while we were surviving. It’s not about luxury—it’s about freedom, healing, and reclaiming the life we dreamed of.
