What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was actually from a Friday the 13th flash event. I searched for a bit, and I came across this shop called Problem Child Tattoo in Austin, TX. They had tattoos inspired from Coraline-- one of my favorite childhood movies. I wanted a tattoo of Coraline anyway, so this was the perfect event. I lived in Dallas at the time, but I said fuck it, drove to Austin at 3am, got there at 6am, slept, then waited in line. I got a tattoo of the face of Coraline and then explored the city.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My tattoos would be like that one group of friends where you wouldn't expect them to intermix, but they end up being tight-knit. My frankenbear would tell my Princess Peach tattoo scary stories, while my cherub tattoo is busy off to the side telling my lucky dice not to make me do anything risky-- all while my party skull and deceased lovers teach Coraline life lessons. Then at night, they'll all get together, reminiscing with me about their birthdays and back when they were a smaller bunch.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I'm currently in law school living off of student loans. I'd use the 25k to support myself while I work towards my degree. I'd mainly stretch it out for rent and groceries, and maybe use ~1k for a new tattoo.
