A boyfriend of mine told me to unsling myself. I tried and slit my wrist and it obviously didn’t work. I have been hiding the slits on my wrist and just got tired of trying to hide them. My sisters and Mother always call ourselves the Black Butterflies and when we end our calls we say love you and love you more. I got a tattoo of a black butterfly that says love you more. It shows that I am loved and death couldn’t stop me when I thought a man couldn’t love me.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my tattoos could speak, they would tell the story of who I am, where I’ve been, and what I’ve overcome. Each piece of ink on my skin isn’t just art—it’s a memory, a milestone, or a message to myself. They’d whisper about resilience—the moments when life felt heavy, but I chose to rise anyway. They’d speak proudly about self-expression and the importance of claiming my identity in a world that often tries to box people in.
What would you do with the $25,000?If the money is strictly for the tattoos then I would get the whole right side of my body done.
