What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is a start of a cover up from a tattoo that I’ve hated , but my most recent tattoo I’ve always liked Egypt and the Egyptian gods bc growing up I’d go to my grandparents and he traveled for work n brought home stuff from there also want to give a shout out n thanks to my main artist at dark side studio in Cadillac mi Jacob hendrickson

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

A little bit of everything really some are random thoughts out of boredom some have meaning that express times ppl n places and that the pain from the tattoo reminds me im alive it’s all really real also want to give a thanks to Jojo photography for taking the time to take some of the professional photos and then there’s also two tattoos I have that resembles time in service

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest a big portion of the winnings into a business that I could pass down to my kids one day or even maybe stocks , I would also pay off some debt that’s been holding me back from utilizing my va home loan to purchase a bigger home for my wife and all our kids 7 in total, to be honest 25,000 would be kinda life changing n very helpful
