What inspired your most recent tattoo?

All of my tattoos represent my spirit. The one I chose to show was inspired by my souls journey from lifetime to lifetime, as my spirit has ridden the Rainbow Serpent through the time and space. As I said before, the Rainbow Serpent represents all of the energetic patterns of life. She is the creator of the energy that moves within us all, so by depicting her on my left arm, my dominant side, I am reminding myself every time I see her in the mirror, that she moves through me even in dark times.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

"Keep moving forward! For you can move mountains and create life out of seemingly nothing! For you have the energy of the universe within you! You are not alone, for you share the same energy that animated ancestors before you!"

What would you do with the $25,000?

I have worked with the special needs community for over 30 years. For many years, I have had a vision of creating a film production company called Wide Angle Vision Productions. We would teach developmentally disabled individuals how to create their own films and stories. We would teach the filming process, the editing process and creating a soundtrack for their projects. If I were to win the $25,000, it would get me started in creating this project and also be able to make my own films as well.
