My ink tells stories of my loved ones as well as spontaneous fun that grew into a piece that means so much to me and who I want to be.

My latest tattoo honors the 17 years that I called Australia home. It's a golden wattle, their national flower. It symbolizes resilience, renewal, and remembrance which perfectly represents the way I want to embrace my time there. Although I am back in Colorado, the wattle blooms as a gentle reminder of the place and people that will always have a piece of my heart. RIP to Stacey Nightingale, my amazing artist. Thank you ❤️
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it wouldn't just speak — it would tell stories. It would whisper the names I hold close, smile at the impulsive ones I got because "why not", and beam with pride at the ones I claimed for myself. My tattoos are memories, milestones, and mantras. Each line, each color, each shade, a visual collaboration between artist and canvas. My ink would speak of who I was and who I am still becoming. It would declare: "I'm here. We matter. I'll be with you always.
What would you do with the $25,000?Winning the $25,000 would be life-changing. I’d get another tattoo — A fun, silly, whimsical one I've been planning. Get my boyfriend his first tattoo as well. But most of the money would go toward paying bills and easing the financial stress I’ve been under, especially with my mom unable to work due to heath issues causing us to live paycheck to paycheck. I’d also save a little for a small vacation—just a simple break to reset, breathe, and feel like myself again.
