Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I got this tattoo because of my deep connection with Finn from Adventure Time. The show helped me process a difficult relationship with my dad, who struggled with addiction. Like Finn, I learned to accept pain, adapt, and grow. Those who have watched the show will understand the placement and choice of the ink. Before my dad passed, we finally found a way to connect. This tattoo is a symbol of that healing and the empathy the show inspired in me

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I’m the mark of a boy who became his own hero. Born from pain, shaped by healing. I carry the repaired bond between father and son, and the strength to keep going. Finn showed the way- now I live on as a reminder that love and growth can rise from even the hardest stories.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I win, a portion of the $25,000 would go toward supporting addiction recovery, something deeply personal to me, as I lost my father to it. The rest would be invested in bettering myself and giving back to the people who’ve supported me, continuing the cycle of healing and growth.
