What inspired your most recent tattoo?

The death of my daughter. I wanted something to commemorate her short time here, but i didn’t want it to be obvious it was a memorial tattoo. There’s a lot of different elements that tie it together, that all have to do with her or us as a family.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my sleeve could speak it would say, “people see a cool tattoo, but I see the little girl who made me a parent and made me stronger than I ever wanted to be.” They would also say, “please finish us before starting another new tattoo “🤣

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly I’m not sure.. take a trip? High interest savings account? Pay off some debt? Down payment on a house? Future college fund for my current daughter? Definitely one or two of those things.
