I got the word ‘balance’ with an arrow on one leg because I’ve learned that, like an arrow, sometimes you have to be pulled back in order to move forward. On the other leg, the arrow with nature leaves represents my growth and deep connection to the natural world. Together, these tattoos remind me that true strength comes from finding balance—between movement and stillness, progress and grounding.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Yeah, I’m an arrow—pulled back, but still aiming high. One leg’s all about balance, the other’s vibing with nature. Together? We’re basically a motivational poster with legs. You’re welcome.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use part of it as a down payment on a house to start building something stable for my future family, and I’d also donate a portion to a hospital to give back and help those in need.
