Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I have such love for the United States of America and those who have served and protected our land. I have several family members who have served in our Military, including my uncle who was paralyzed from the waist down while serving in Vietnam. I got the poppies on my ankle as a symbol of my appreciation for him and for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom of myself and my neighbors. Poppies have historical significance in relation to WW1, but all U.S. veterans as well.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink would say that true love knows no bounds, that sacrifice is the ultimate form of love. I may be young, & my tattoos may not be perfect, but I'd do anything to support my best friend in her venture to become a professional tattoo artist. She's an amazing human being, & if sacrificing my skin & my appearance is what it takes to support her, then I'll do it. My ink represents my loyalty to Alexis, & it keeps her close to me even when we're far apart. To me, it's so much more

What would you do with the $25,000?

My fiancé's family is going through a tough time right now after his dad received a diagnosis that will render him unable to work within a year. I'd love to help out with medical costs and utilities/groceries to get them through. I'd also love to put a portion of the money towards a shop for my fiancé (who runs a lawn and landscaping business @ 19 y.o.), toward a rental location for my body piercing shop, and towards my wedding with my fiancé! This prize would be life-changi
