What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was for the massive heart attack i had. I had the widowmaker at 41 yrs old, and just happened to have it on Friday the 13th. Come to find out it was the 2nd heart attack I had. Dr's sent me home saying I didn't have one the 1st time when I was 39, but Dr's later confirmed I did. I love the way the artist incorporated the date in my tattoo.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would say this is a bright, positive woman who doesn't let her health issues define her or stop her! She persevere's and goes on with life like nothing ever happened even though I was given 2 to 5 yrs to live because of the damage to my heart. I certainly don't look like anything is wrong with me!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I'm going thru a divorce after 27 yrs, I got stuck with a lot of credit card debt. With him making 6 figures a year and me having 3 kids and on disability, there's so much i could do with it... I would love to take my kids on a once in a lifetime trip somewhere, maybe Hawaii then pay the rest to my credit cards.
