What inspired your most recent tattoo?

The battle that I've had with life in general needed some attention. I got well, and I wanted to have a reminder for why I do what I do. Life is short and fragile. Not to mention, they look great! I'm in a constant state of looking on what I can improve in my life and my ink is a reminder of what I am battling.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

"Do you think you know what life is about? Think again... Life is more intense and meaningful than you ever could imagine. I am not perfect, neither is the body that I decorate. Perfection is just a word used to clarify an ideal that we cannot wrap our heads around. And ya know what... it hurts me too when I'm going on."

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would try and do the most responsible thing I could. Catch up on some of my debt and probably buy a car. I've never been "Mr. Responsible" but I'm doing my best right now. It would give me some peace of mind, If only temporarily.
