Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was inspired by a trip to Hawaii we had planned before my uncle passed. He was full of life, laughter, and dreams of island sunsets. When he died, I carried that trip in my heart — and when I finally made it there, I brought him with me in spirit. I dedicated the piece to him. It’s more than just ink — it’s a promise, a memory, and a reminder that he’s still with me, riding waves in the sky, watching over every step I take.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak, it would whisper the battles I’ve won, the pain I’ve survived, and the fire that still burns in me. It would say, ‘She’s not just wearing art—she’s wearing her story. Every line has a memory. Every color, a chapter. My ink doesn’t just decorate—I let it speak the truth I once couldn’t say out loud.

What would you do with the $25,000?
