My most recent tattoo—a goth girl—was inspired by my lifelong connection to the goth scene. It's more than just an aesthetic for me; it's a culture and a mindset that’s shaped how I see the world and express myself. The goth girl in the tattoo represents individuality, mystery, and strength—qualities that resonate deeply with me. Getting this ink was my way of honoring a subculture that’s been a constant source of identity, creativity, and freedom throughout my life

I am the voice of found freedom to be loud in my silence, to wear my heart on black sleeves, and to not apologize for feeling deeply. This ink isn’t just art—it’s saying I’m still here, still expressing, still refusing to blend in!

If I won the $25K, I’d love to put it toward a home with more space for my 4 children & I—somewhere with room and land so they can truly be kids and while my kids are incredibly understanding, they deserve more space to grow and thrive, and a future filled with love and support. I’d also love to add a garage for my Harley and my kids’ dirt bikes, go-karts, and all the little things that bring them joy.
