What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My children. I have 2 daughters. Lilli Faline & Jemmah Rose. I have a Lily and a Rose to represent the 2 most influential parts of my growth as a human and mother. They make me better with every passing day and I dont know where I would be without them. Some parts of my past are a bit dark. My children saved my life and brought the light back into my world. They made me the person I am today. So they didn't just help me grow, they've allowed me to blossom into something beautiful.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

They would tell you what means most to me in this life. What I have been through and how it all came to be. The things I have lost, pieces that I will forever miss. Also, the things I have gained, the blessings that filled those holes and rebuilt this Phoenix back up from the ashes left behind. Life is a struggle containing many battles. My ink tells the stories of my triumphs and failures as well as all of the wonderful things in-between. They are the story of Me. They are the art of my life.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Fix my home! My mother left me her house when she passed away many years ago. It was no picnic to keep it being I was quite young and I knew nothing about owning a house, but I did it! Unfortunately, over the past few years my financial status hasn't been the best. I was hit by a truck last August and not being able to work has made life a bit tough. I have recovered a lot physically, but financially I am still buried. This money would allow me to fix my family home and get my life back on track
