What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I was accidentally at opening night of Jelly Rolls new bar in Nashville, spotted the tattoo shop and got an open book. I love to read but I’ve always been an open book about my life. I’ve come across so many people that felt they were alone until they heard my story. I will always share my story.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

That I’m always a victor, and never a victim of life and its lessons. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2023 while pregnant with my 4th child. I survived, because my purpose is greater than my weakest moments. I never doubted that. It was a scary first surgery.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would FINALLY get my sleeve I’ve been dreaming about for years! It was in the works and I got pregnant. I was ok to wait but with my diagnosis and a baby who was delivered 6 weeks early, our medical bills have permanently paused this for me. I want something to encompass my first 40yrs and what’s left to come. I’d also like some touch ups to improve some older tattoos. So many ideas.
