My most recent tattoo is of a Daruma doll and it represents my journey to start my own practice as a clinical social worker and substance abuse counselor. Daruma dolls represent perseverance and setting and achieving your goals. If you push a Daruma doll down it will always come back to standing. I really connected with the symbolism because it took me a long time to get hear. I took my first college class in 1996 but I didn't finish until 2012. It was a long road.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would preach balance in life. Goals are important but stay flexible to the opportunities that the universe offers you. Life is full of possibilities so don't focus so hard on your goal that you miss out on the experience of living.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would probably finish off paying my car and then take my husband on a bucket list level vacation.
