Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My grandfather was virtually my father growing up. He’s the one that taught me how to operate and function in society and as a man in the work industry. He passed a few months ago and my most recent ink is to commemorate him. It’s a hammer and saw crossed, he was a master carpenter in my home town And my first job was working alongside him. Everybody young and old could tell a story of when he helped them or built something for them or just had a conversation and especially talk abou

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would tell of my adventures with my grandfather, it would tell of the times we’ve disagreed and agreed on things. It would tell of the struggle of the economy and a young man who’s determined to make a dollar and put food on his plate like the one before him did ,and someday tell how that young man was able to teach others to do for themselves

What would you do with the $25,000?

Currently my car needs to be fixed and 25,000 would be a great help ,once the major problems are fixed, I’d spread some of that with my mother and aunt because they’ve held me down for years and my family is all about giving back to those who’ve done right by you
