Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tatt is my octopus. I used to want my octopus to be small, but while I was reading a book one of the characters had their entire back tatted with an octopus. I knew I wanted a huge leg piece and that’s when it clicked for me, I’m going to get this octopus on my thigh and build an entire creepy underwater scene. The next addition is a crepid mermaid. I give my artist a lot of freedom with my tats so it’s a work in progress, I don’t know how the finished piec

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink would say I’m a bada**. It would show the things I’m interested in such as pretty much anything dark and spooky. They would say that I’m not afraid to be different and flaunt it. They would show confidence and boldness. They would also tell you how proud I am of my tattoos, I cannot wait to add to my tattoo collection, and to bring all of the ideas I have to life.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Obviously I would add to my tattoo collection, but what I’d really like to do with it is to start my own business. I believe that putting the money into something that would make me more money and better myself and my family in the long run. Ontop of that the company I’d like to start I’m very passionate in. Residential painting, while also offering other things that align in the same field such as cabinetry etc. Investing into my/family future is important to me.
