Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

I’m a delicious combination of sweet and heat. My dragon on my rib cage breathing fire yet smiling with a daisy in its mouth symbolizes me… feisty and fierce but with a huge heart and always full of mischief, happiness and fun.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My mantra is have courage, be kind and forever grateful. I OWN my power - scars, scales and all. Something I for a long time shied away from and dimmed my light to fit in. My message - do you with a pure heart, whatever that may be. Have fun along the way of this amazing mess of a thing called life! Live authentically and tell your story.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use it to do podcasts and write about human connection, kindness and living authentically to make the world brighter!! All the above iMHO are sorely lacking these days societally, and we most definitely need more light! I think if we heard more about each others stories on their lives, empowered people to just have a voice and a platform to listen, we could really do away with so much pain that comes from being scared to be real or say what’s on out heart. Kindness goes a long way.
