Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Most recent is a bluejay. This was chosen to honor my son who lived for 31 hours due to Hellp syndrome that I also almost passed away from. This was the most notable moment of my life. I received it on his would be due date, although he was born on September 3 months early. He was my first and only child and gave me the gift of being a mom, even for a short time. I’ll forever be grateful.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink would tell a story that I am a fighter. I struggled with obesity most of my life, tattoos made me love myself. After loosing half my body weight I continued collecting tattoos to honor myself as well as people and things that made me who I am today.

What would you do with the $25,000?

After we lost our son, my husband, step daughter and I are craving a fresh start. 25k would pay down some debt and medical bills, put a little bit in savings towards a house of our own, and I’d love to do something in my sons name at the hospital that did everything they could to save us. Hellp syndrome is rare, I’d like to start a platform to share my story and hopefully save some lives.
