Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I've always always loved the look and style of Chinese dragons. So my main goal when I got my first tattoo, a lower back piece in honor of my deceased father. I didn't consider it a tramp stamp because I ultimately wanted my whole back to be tattooed. I only got the outline of the Chinese dragon so far and really want to finish getting it shaded and background made taking up more of my upper back. I want to fill my whole back so people stop referring to my dad's memorial piece as a trampstamp

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

Honestly the only tattoo I have of any super sentimental meaning is my lower back piece of a Celtic cross headstone for my father who passed when I was 12. The logic to getting it in that area was because I intended to have my whole back filled with art, and then it wouldn't be a lone tattoo on my lower back. That's the only tattoo that means a lot to me and it's constantly the one tattoo that gets laughed at not because of what it is, but where it is. I wish it didn't get to me but it does.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I am part of a non profit organization and motorcycle club, so I would donate a portion to go towards good causes that help my community. But the rest I'd put towards paying a chunk of my mom's mortgage off. She's broke her back raising my sister and I and supporting us after my father passed. I wanna he able to pay her back a little bit by helping pay off a portion of her mortgage.
