My most recent tattoo was inspired by embracing both the light and the dark sides of life—kind of like my personal reminder that you can’t have one without the other. Plus, I just really love the way it looks. It’s like wearable art that tells my story...and adds a little bit of badassery too!
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would say: “You made it. Now own it.” Every line and symbol carries a piece of my story! It would remind me to breathe when I’m overwhelmed, to laugh when I’m too serious, and to keep going even when I doubt myself.
What would you do with the $25,000?I’m building my own brand as an artist, YouTuber, and small business owner. This money would help me expand my handmade product line, upgrade my filming gear, and give my business the boost it needs to reach more people. I’d also donate $2,000 to PAWS, because animals have saved me more than once, and I want to give back!
