What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My tattoo represents my journey of resilience. The skull represents the darker aspects of my life and inner struggles that have made me who I am today. The flowers add a sense of hope and beauty symbolizing that there's beauty even in difficult times or circumstances. The vibrant colors remind me to embrace life fully, while the intricate design showcases my appreciation for art.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak, it would whisper tales of resilience, reminding me that every scar tells a story of strength. It would echo the laughter of joyful moments and the tears of challenges faced, urging me to embrace life's journey. It would encourage others to find beauty in their struggles and to wear their stories proudly, for every mark is a testament to their unique path.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I had 25,000 dollars I would be able to send my daughter to an early collage school. As a single mom of 2 kids I would help us buy our first home together so that we can finally have a place to call home. I would help my mom with medical expenses that are needed monthly and maybe take a small trip with my little family to NYC.
