What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My tattoo is a tribute to the deepest part of my heart—my three children. It symbolizes the unconditional love I have for them all, including the one who now watches over us from heaven. Though one is no longer here physically, their presence is felt every day, and this ink is my way of keeping them close, always. It's a permanent reminder of love, loss, and the unbreakable bond between a parent and their children.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak, it would say I’m a man of deep faith, fierce love, and resilience. It would tell the story of a father who carries his children—one in heaven—forever on his skin and in his heart. It would speak of strength drawn from belief, of loss turned into tribute, and of a creative soul who designed his own symbol of hope. Every line is a chapter of who I am: faithful, loving, and unbreakably devoted.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I’d first pay off some bills to ease the financial strain we’ve been under—especially after my wife’s recent heart attack and job loss. It’s been a tough few years, and we’re in desperate need of a break. I’d love to take my wife and kids on a real vacation, something we’ve never had. Most of all, I’d take them out west to finally meet my family. It would be a chance to reconnect, heal, and make memories we’ve been waiting
