My most recent tattoo is honestly one of my favorites. It’s a reflection of my choices and me still being here today looking at them. All my choices made me who I am today. It’s a woman looking in the mirror crying and there’s a hole in her chest and the mirror itself is shattered. The tattoo is black and white realism. I wanted it as a reminder to keep going even though I’m kinda broken but that’s okay we all are.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would say I’ve been through all kinds of phases and obstacles in my life. From relationships to mental health and personal references.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay my car off!
