I lost my baby Salomón after just 3 days, and my grandfather Carlos years earlier to cancer. I tattooed them as angels on my right leg, side by side—two souls who shaped my life in different ways. One raised me with love and strength, the other gave me a pure, unforgettable kind of love in just days. Now, every step I take, they walk with me. This tattoo is not just art—it’s memory, healing, and proof that I’m never walking alone.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?“Two Angels, One Path” Some stories are written in our hearts long before they reach the world. Mine is a story of love, loss, and the deep connection between generations. I carry a tattoo on my right leg of two people who changed my life forever—my grandfather Carlos and my baby boy, Salomón.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won $25K, I’d invest it in building a safe, loving future for my new family. Becoming a father again fills me with hope, even as I carry the pain of losing my first baby, Salomón. This blessing feels like a second chance—a rebirth. I’d use the money wisely: preparing a home, supporting my partner, and creating stability. Fear is real, but so is faith. This time, I walk forward with love, purpose, and the strength of an angel watching over us.
