My most recent tattoo was inspired by life events. Unicorns don’t exist is the lesson reminder. My mother passed away and she really loved unicorns. I happened to keep running across them when going through my divorce and mistakenly took a cup that a friend had that said trust me I am a unicorn as a irony and coincidence for a friend who turned out to be not a friend. It was totally ink therapy, money should have gone to debts but I needed that moment engraved for me in a fun way.

Don’t let the bad things in life break you. Find the fun, the positive and beauty in all of it. Turn those experiences into lessons, art, something positive. Fun. Cynically comical if you must but find a way to make smiles. My family has some history as everyone's does. My grandmother died from Leukemia at 40 something and my mom was very young, she named me after her. Things were really twisted in some ways growing up but blessings...art, beauty is everywhere. Hurt to beautiful art on ski

5k would go to tattoos for my partner and I as he’s a tattoo virgin and I have some pieces I have wanted done since I was 20. The rest would go to debts and my 14 month old sons growing needs. We’re finding out baby 2 is on the way so we are expecting. Both my partner and I met after incurring costs from some pretty hefty divorces and we're still paying but we count our blessings we found each other. We both want to get tattoos together, it would be romantic to us. I love getting tat
