Enter For FreeThe most recent tattoo I have is a nautical anchor wrapped with a ribbon that simply reads DAD. My dad is currently dying from glioblastoma brain cancer. Ive talked about it forever and procrastinated. So when we were told the tumor has returned I made it a priority to get it done so he could see it. He was thrilled about it.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could talk it would say first, I’ve made plenty of mistakes. It would also say that mistakes can be beautiful after overcoming mistakes. My ink would tell you that friends come and go, family isn’t guaranteed and as long as there is canvas it’s always possible to paint a future.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won $25k I would absolutely make sure my son gets into an art school where he can really thrive. He’s incredibly talented and always does the right thing. He advocates for those who need a voice. He is not very book smart but his worldly knowledge and views are far beyond his years. He has lived more lifetimes than many people. He has a terrible tremor in his hands but somehow he can create magic with make up, paint, marker, and anything he can find.
