What inspired your most recent tattoo?

The most, most recent was the letter of my aunt's (mothers sister) first name. I wanted to incorporate her into my body as the majority are of my mother or something regarding her. My ink journey started when my mother was battling ovarian cancer, then breast cancer which she survived. I would get a tattoo every time she either went in or a round of chemo.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

This is a great question. What I want them to say/speak to the people is that the journey of ink is life changing. Think about what makes you happy and if you cared for something so much be okay with it being on your body. The ink is for oneself to look and reflect on their life, choices and goals, please make sure that every piece means something to you in the great scheme of it all. The goal is gain a sense of happiness to see what you care so much devoted on your body life a work of art.

What would you do with the $25,000?

As obvious as it may seem one would spend some on bills that are a bit high due to life, owning a home and going to school for my masters. I would also help pay some of the existing medical bills my mother has accrued over the years. Lastly, if there is anything remainder that I can see let go I would like to donate or pay it forward. I have never done something of that nature and I have hit an age where I see great satisfaction in doing something of that nature, even if its not a huge donation.
