What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is actually a flash sale piece. I know it’s a little cheesy but I got it with my new friends. I was happy to get it because I never thought I would be friends again. I thought “no one makes new friends at this age”. Leaving a toxic friend group and now finding people that truly see me for who I am and I person I aspire to be feels incredibly. More importantly they push and inspire me to be the person I want to be. Couldn’t ask for anything more!

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I honestly don’t know. I get compliments on my tats. Part of me thinks it’s not like it’s one beautiful work of art, so what is it that they love. But I feel like that’s the point of my tats. They are all random from different moments of time. I’m kinda all over the place and very impulsive. I most likely saw a picture on Pinterest and got it. But I love the story behind each of my tats. From being bored on a random Tuesday and have some extra money

What would you do with the $25,000?

I will probably put half in my savings so I can save up to move out and buy property of my own one day. But I will give the other half to my dad and help pay the mortgage. He’s done so much for me! Raising 4 kids as a single dad, working hard to give us a good childhood. I still live with him! He bought a new house 2 years ago but then he lost one of his jobs. Now he’s been busting his behind to pay the mortgage and I would love to take some stuff off his plate.
