Learn MoreMy most recent tattoo says fearless. I was trying to overcome my fears and move forward in a new direction that I had never been before. What made the whole thing even more memorable and helped me to overcome my fears was the fact that someone, that I love very much, drew the tattoo design for me. I proudly wear my fearless tattoo moving forward in the direction that I choose myself.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Depends on which tattoo... Some say I am strong and have overcome many challenges. Others might say I was young and not the brightest 😂. But all of them have meaning and matter to me no matter what and I think that's what is important.
What would you do with the $25,000?My mom passed away in October of 2024 due to cancer. We haven't been able to afford a headstone for her grave yet but we've been saving.. she also had a vehicle that wasn't paid off yet that was supposed to go to my youngest sister and her family. But it was taken back by the bank. She is disabled and unable to work but needs a vehicle for her family to get back and forth from Dr visits and the store. I'd love to be able to get her one and say it was from our mom!
