What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My son. He is my everything.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

it would tell the story of a warrior—born in the year of the tiger, with piercing blue eyes and a spirit that never gives up. Every line, every shade etched into my skin carries meaning. The flowers represent my family—especially my mother, who recently passed. Her memory blooms through me every day. My son, my cub, is also there—looking up at me with love and trust.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d use it to give back. As a thyroid cancer survivor, I’d donate to a cancer charity and honor my late mother by supporting the CHIP Foundation she loved. I’d also invest in programs for children in need here in Hampton Roads and do something special for local rescue dogs—maybe a community event that brings both together. And yes, I’d get more ink to mark the journey. It’s not just about tattoos—it’s about healing, legacy, and giving back to the
