What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My recent tattoo was one that my self and my two other best friends got the same one of. We got it on our left arms and it’s the semi-colon. We met in a psych ward right after I found out my best friend of 18yrs passed away suddenly from suicide. I ended up in the hospital because I wanted to go with her. I couldn’t picture my life without her. I met these two beautiful souls under a duress that I truly felt like I couldn’t handle. We left a week later and we went straight to t

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak. It would be my aunt’s voice with my best friend’s heartbeat. It would say “we know that you miss us and we know how dark it’s been lately for you. We want you to know that we miss you but, we aren’t ready for you yet. Continue keeping on, keeping on because you were our purpose, love and light. Continue to spread the kindness because that’s who you are to soul defying levels.”

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the $25,000 I would invest in medical equipment to make my daily life easier. I would donate $10,000 of it too. I would donate to a cancer charity and donate to the Suicide Support Line. I would also love to be able to take my wife on a vacation. We’ve been struggling because she’s the only one working. She often has to miss days due to my health. It would help me help out. It’s my passion to spread love and happiness.
