What inspired your most recent tattoo?

Me and my close friend Delaynie both share an interest in the whimsical and strange, so we decided to get matching dancing skeletons one day to have something silly to laugh by and remember that scary things are only as scary as you let them be.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I think it would tell the many stories of love between me and my found family and the world I have made for myself. The ink would tell you about the crazy trips and wild rides I have been on, as well as the lower moments that have been made better by those who came to support me even in my worst moments. The most important thing is it would share my thoughts on life and death, and how I have come to cope with it from my perspective. Think of it like a scrapbook on my skin.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly, it would go a long way in paying off my student loan debts, and I think if I invested and did the right research I could create a better life for myself, my life partner and my cat. My main goal in life is to create stability in my life and have somewhere to call home that is ours to share. This money could be the best step we have to reaching that. I also could get more of my sleeve finished a bit faster which would be a sweet bonus!
