Each rose on my collarbones stands for a loved one who’s shaped who I am—people I carry with me, always close to the surface. It’s not about loss, it’s about presence. Bold, simple, permanent.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it’d say: “Earned every mark. Made some dumb calls. Wouldn’t change a thing.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won the $25,000, I’d put it straight into building a future for my family. I’m about to become a father, and this would help me give my wife and our child the support they deserve. It would also help me launch my production company—a dream I’ve been grinding toward for years. This isn’t just about chasing passion—it’s about building something real, something lasting, for the people I love most.
