My most recent tattoo is a cherub in traditional black and grey. I’ve always loved that style — it feels timeless and lets me keep adding to my story. Some of my tattoos are just beautiful pieces I loved; others are reminders of surviving mental health battles, overcoming struggles, and restarting my life with strength and hope.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?It would say: You are resilient. You have survived every dark moment you thought would break you. You’ve built and rebuilt yourself with love, and no matter how many times you have to start over, you’ll rise stronger every time.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the money to finally finish getting my pilot’s license — a dream I had to pause because of financial struggles. Flying, riding motorcycles, and traveling the world have always been part of the life I’m building for myself, and this would help me take it to the next level.
