What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I am deeply connected to the earth and my Sun sign Taurus. My tattoo is a tree with a hidden skull in its bare branches. In its roots is the Taurus sign, signifying how my Zodiac keeps me connected to my roots and to the earth. In the tree is an owl representing the wisdom I am always searching for in everything. As a nurse and a single mother, all of these principles has kept me going and given me the strength to continue to grow and provide for myself and my son.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would say that there is always beauty to be found in the dark. In all things dark or bright there is a story to tell. It is the stories that came from darkness, searching for light and, fighting to find the wisdom that shines the light on the dark...these are the stories of the fight for a better future. She is the warrior, way maker and mountain mover....

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off my house, then I would be able to finally reduce the hours that I work. I have worked 2 jobs as a RN for sometime now paying all the bills required to maintain our home and provide for my son. I have been able to pay the difference his scolorships dont provide for his tuition getting him his associates in psycology at UofM Ann Arbor. My hope is he dont have to carry the burden of student loans like I have. With all this behind me I could really start living for myself.
