If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would say James Dexter Stokley is a man that knows who he is, what he likes, and what his life means! It would say that the God of the universe loves him and he has devoted his life to Him. It would say how powerful God is and yet how gentle and loving He is. It would say James has been through many hard times, yet overcame and is still here and darkness did not win! It would say he is independent and his interests are beautiful and cultural.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would find a place to live so I can get off my brother's couch. Afterwards, I would also finish some tattoo ideas such as an Edward Scissorhands piece.
