If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would probably tell stories of spontaneity and rebellion. Each piece is a mark of my personal journey, a testament to moments of impulsive decisions, creativity, and embracing imperfections.

What would you do with the $25,000?If I won $25k, I’d use it to give my kids and me the fresh start we deserve by putting it toward a home of our own. After my divorce, a stable and loving space is more important than ever. I’d use the money as a down payment, or anything to help us get closer to that goal. It’s about more than just owning a house; it’s about creating a home where my kids can feel safe, loved, and empowered to chase their own dreams. This win would be the step we need to build our new chap
