Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was inspired by some of my favorite spooky characters. I’ve always loved Halloween—it’s my favorite holiday—and this piece was a perfect way to celebrate that. It’s also an addition to my leg, which is dedicated to iconic figures like Edward Scissorhands, Wednesday, and Morticia, all of whom represent parts of my personality and the beauty I find in the dark and unusual.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

We are the pages of her story—each line, each shade a moment survived. We’d whisper her strength on the days she forgets it, remind her of the beauty born from pain, and the love she learned to give herself. We are proof she kept going, even when it hurt.

What would you do with the $25,000?

my husband lost three of the most people closest to him after Covid and he still found the strength and to be a great husband and a great father. He is the most selfless human being, and I would love to do something special for him like an amazing vacation where he doesn’t have to carry the weight and he can just enjoy himself.
