Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is a Phoenix Rising. After my brother and my father passed, I went through a very dark time and it is there to remind me that from a birth moon phase to a death moon phase we have to rise up anf even when it's very painful it is possible to fly again. The stars around it represent other people I loved and lost and why I need to rise above anytime this happens. I almost lost myself to addiction and I'm sober and this tattoo is to remind me that we have to rise above our pain

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would totally say, baby girl you got this. We are here, we are watching over you and we are proud of you. You are stronger than you think, wiser than you know, and much better than you give yourself credit for. Listen love, this cruel world needs positive loving good-hearted people like you. Keep on keeping on, for the sake of the greater good and those babies. The people who you ost are just as confused as you are and did not do this to hurt you. So help the people you to can in their honor!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would put it down on a house of my own for sure. One thing my father taught us is buy dirt & put solidity on ground. I've not done that so it would be amazing to me to actually buy a home of my own that I could pass down to next generations that started out being designed by me. 100% that is my dream. That would give me space to honor him & all loved ones for generations so they wouldn't be forgotten. I'm huge on family trees and actually creating a real family forest. My next ink actu
