It’s not a tattoo—it’s a survival spell. Trauma alchemized. Power reclaimed. A tigress born of fire and made to be seen.

As a trauma therapist—and survivor—I chose the tigress after escaping a life that tried to quiet me. She’s my rebellion, my protector, and my proof that healing isn’t always soft. Sometimes it growls. Sometimes it claims space.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?“I’ve walked through fire and made it my altar. I’m not here to be pretty or polite—I’m here to remind you that you’re powerful—and not alone.”
What would you do with the $25,000?I’d launch The Cocktail Therapist™—a traveling ritual experience where curated cocktails, trauma-informed storytelling, and depth psychology converge. These intimate, intentional gatherings would help people reclaim their narratives through myth, mixology, meaning—and sultry, soulful fun. After fiercely fighting for my daughter and my own survival, this isn’t just a dream—it’s mine. Untaken. Unbroken. One day a permanent lounge. Now the fire travels.
