My tattoos are a beautiful collection of life experiences thrown together; none were planned, but somehow all come together cohesively.

Tragic is boldly displayed on my neck. As I read my favorite book, The Picture of Dorian Gray, "tragic" popped out at me from the line, "behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic." That perfectly exemplified how I not only view myself but how I view the world. I see beauty in the duality of human nature.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Thank you for getting us tattooed because we are your reminder to remain wild and free. Whenever I see my reflection, I am proud to see I am living my life authentically. Each tattoo has its own beauty to it, some lines have faded, others have bled together, even the artistry varies but each represent the different stages of my life. My ink is ME.
What would you do with the $25,000?Family first, always. Part of the win will be to bless my parents and brother; one thrives, we all thrive. Then I would donate to a suicide prevention organization. I was a suicidal teen and had attempted suicide twice. Although I have recovered, that subject will forever remain part of my history and I feel it is my duty to spread awareness in anyway I can. And lastly, put the rest into a savings account as an my emergency fund. Never know when life will throw a curveball.
