Tattoos helped me find myself. Some honor loss, some just look good — but every one is a piece of who I was when I got it.

My most recent tattoo was about the moment, not necessarily some big meaning. I was with people I love, making a memory, and adding a piece of art that looks cool.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Just as I’ve changed, my tattoos have changed with me. They’d tell you about loss, about growth, about learning to express myself when words weren’t enough. They’d say I’m not afraid to take up space anymore. Each one marks a different version of me, and together they show exactly where I’ve been and who I’m becoming.
What would you do with the $25,000?I’d use it to support my grandma who’s been adjusting to life after losing her husband of nearly 70 years. I’d also put it toward my own medical bills, because taking care of myself hasn’t always been an option. The money would go where it’s most needed, plus maybe a new tattoo or two.
