What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is a Hibiscus flower, it represents new growth. Going through changes and growing in life is beautiful, it’s the same in nature. My favorite tattoo is of my phoenix! It’s a custom piece drawn and tattooed by my artist in Myrtle Beach, SC. I chose the phoenix because it rises from the ashes just like I had to do time and time again battling my addictions.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It would say this person has experienced a lot. Lots of pain, lots of bad choices, and many hard times. It would also say these things made him stronger, more gentle more interesting, and more compassionate. I love life and enjoying every second of it!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to get my memorial tattoo for my best friend who passed a couple years ago. I already have his ashes put into ink thru a company. Now, I’m just waiting for the right artist and of course to have the money to do it correctly. After that he will always be with, every thing I do everywhere I go. I sure do miss him. Love you Shawn!
