Kala Mead

Whimsical, weird, and a little wicked—my tattoos mix Potter magic, Coraline creep, & Jack Skellington with florals & bold black lines.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

This Nightmare Before Christmas-inspired piece is a tribute to my 15-year-old pit bull, Ash. It’s a mix of whimsy, grief, and love—Sally cradling Zero reflects our bond, wrapped in bold lines and bright florals that tell our story with every inked detail.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak, it’d say I’m a story of growth, wonder, and learning what truly matters. The movies that inspired it all remind me—and my family—that even in the darkest places, there’s color, connection, and a little bit of magic. We’ve grown together through their lessons, finding strength in imagination, courage in being ourselves, and beauty in the unexpected.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won $25,000, I would plan a memorable family vacation to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary this June with my husband and our 8-year-old daughter. The remaining amount would go toward paying down our mortgage to help secure our future and create more financial freedom for our family.
