Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is “1997” across my stomach. This is the year my parents got married (they are still together). Their love is so genuine and pure and has set the PERFECT example for the love i want to pursue in life . They have proven that time does not change anything. They laugh together, support, cry, cuddle, and love like they did when they were teenagers. 1997 is not only a symbol of love to my parents, but the love i want to find for myself. Never settling for less.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would say “i dont give a F*CK”. I faced major backlash in my family for having ink and not being the “cookie cutter woman”. I work a corporate job and my ink makes a statment that being tatted doesn’t define how well someone works or not make me any less of a woman. It makes me, ME. So to the people who hate it, the ink says “i don’t give a F*CK about your opinion”.

What would you do with the $25,000?

The house market is crazy, and i am currently saving to buy a house (which feels impossible currently). This money would be put in my savings to use for a down payment on a house to start my own separate life!
