My ink is simple yet bold. It is based in my creative expressions without regard for others, and it embodies different stages in my life.

Enter For FreeMy most recent tattoo is a simple dragon on the left side of my chest. My love of fantasy - both watching and reading - inspired this one. I recently began reading new content again after a brain injury 5+ years ago, which has been a struggle. This tattoo speaks to that slightly. I also associate dragons with power, fierceness, and loyalty that I work hard to maintain in my life.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Which one? Each of my pieces speak specifically to my individual interest and stage in life when I got it. Some are very happy, some speak to struggle, others are a bit sad. I suppose if they all had one message it would be similar to: Each stage in life has beauty. It may not be enjoyable, but each stage is a part of the wonderful human I am. I have learned to love and embrace that.
What would you do with the $25,000?Oh gosh I’d have to be kind of boring! First I’d probably get a dog. I have looked at adopting but many fees are $1,000.00+ and need tons of references and requirements that present a huge barrier for me. I would be able to purchase one rather than keep trying to get approved for rescues. Then I would see if $25k is enough of an addition to my savings account to get me a house or land. I still live at home, which is challenging a lot of the time.
