My tattoos were inspired by a time of transformation. The chrysanthemum symbolizes resilience and rebirth, and having them mirrored reflects balance that I've worked hard to achieve, as well as the symmetry in my art representing my struggle with OCD.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my tattoos could speak, the chrysanthemums would talk about showing strength through beauty, blooming and growing from previous versions of myself. The blackout tattoos would say I’ve made peace with my past and turned it into something special and intentional. Together with the symmetry, they’d say I create and value structure.
What would you do with the $25,000?I'd use the $25,000 to pay off my student loans and invest in grad school. Clearing that debt would lift a huge burden, and funding my education would help me grow both personally and professionally. My goal is to become a professor, specializing in cardiovascular physiology, and this would help me get there without carrying the weight of financial stress.
