Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is a feminine ulami tattoo with a twist! Instead of the traditional zig zag line pattern through the middle, I replaced that with the names of my seven children. The tattoo is on my back and is currently the largest one I have to date. The same day I had this tattoo done, I also had my wedding date in Roman numerals tattooed on the right side of my chest, and added an additional heart to a tattoo on the back of my neck to represent my newest niece!

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my tattoos could speak they would tell you about some of the most important people in my life; my children (whos' names also speak volumes), my husband, my parents, my sister, my nieces, my Gramma Lucy, and my Uncle Frank. They would also tell you about my life long battle with mental health as well as the battles many of my family and friends have fought, are still fighting, and that some battles are not always won. My tattoos speak to strength and change; mental, physical, and emotional.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I had $25,000.00 I would put it towards a down-payment on a dream home for my beautiful family of nine! A house with enough space for all of us to have room to grow, space of our own to do as we please, a kitchen big enough for us all to cook Sunday Sauce together all at once, a yard big enough to play softball in, with a pool and patio large enough to have all of our family and friends over! It would go towards our forever home that we could continue to make many more messes and memories in!
