My grandad loved butterflies and Dolly’s sweet songs, said they both had a way of making life a little lighter. So I stitched his memory into my skin, with wings as soft as his stories and as wild as his dreams. Every butterfly I wear is a piece of him — still soaring, still singing, somewhere down the line
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would confess everything I never said out loud. About the friends I couldn’t keep, the art that saved me, the loves that wrecked me in the best ways. It would tell you how every tattoo is a window — some cracked, some wide open, but all looking into the same place: my soul, laid bare in black and grey.
What would you do with the $25,000?Becoming a nurse has been one of the proudest achievements of my life. It took years of late nights, long shifts, and unwavering determination to turn my dream into reality. Along the way, I accumulated school debt that often felt like a heavy shadow over my hard work. If I were to win $25,000, I would use it first to ease that burden — to honor the sacrifices I made to be where I am today.
