What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is of Lilith. In mythology Lilith was Adam’s first wife that was created from sand just like he was. She was banished for embracing her sexuality and believing that she was equal to Adam. After she was banished; Eve was created from a piece of Adam’s rib. Lilith represents power, standing for what you believe in and not allowing a man to make you cower and put your head down.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My tattoos tell my story. From the birth flowers on my arm of my family members with protection emblems within it, to the lioness and two cubs on my thigh representing my two children and I. The wolf on my neck represents strength; a wolf doesn’t need a pack, they lead, but when they are running in packs they are incredibly loyal.

What would you do with the $25,000?

25,000 can help me set my kids up. I always planned on getting fixer upper properties and flipping them. I’d be able to use some of it as a downpayment to get the ball rolling .
