My most recent tat is survival mode. I had a son in 2018. I was working three jobs and gave my all to an organization that wasn't looking to invest in me and increase my income so I quit all three and I decided to gamble on my passion an drive so I had to switch to survival mode for my sons future . I m still on the major grind to make my family whole .
If your ink could speak, what would it say?They would tell me that all the struggles and pain that I have been through will one day pay off and any hurt that I have been through you will grow from it . My tats are my life stories etched in art on my body that speaks to a moment in my history. My tats speak to my legacy
What would you do with the $25,000?It goes to my family. I will help to grow my fathers business. Make sure my son is taken care off. Help me towards getting a drivers license to do even more for my family. I have a tat that answers that says Family First. They are my number one priority
