What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is my three dogs that I lost. They were my first dogs when I started adulthood and went through some really hard parts of life with them. In june of this past year I was almost killed in a freak accident where i sustained head and facial injuries.. I am currently saving for my next tattoo which would be for my three current dogs.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink all means something deep to me and all occurred during a time I needed healing. After my accident this year I got my daughters handwriting and my sleeve of my past dogs.. I have a large back tattoo and a hand tattoo of my son i lost.. my mermaid on my thigh is for my daughter and I - and everyone called me a mermaid as a teenager. My sleeve are mine, my ex husband, my daughter and my lost son’s birth flowers. My tattoos have helped me heal.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Even though i have a million bills to be paid as a single mom, homeowner, and business owner.. I would like to buy a camper for my daughter and I. If there is one thing my accident in June taught me is that life is way too short and can end any moment. I knew this with all my pregnancy losses but it really hit home when I was bleeding out in Boston…
